GENERIC NAMES OF THE FAMILY STAPHYLINIDAE 341 



RHOPOLOCERA [Error for Rhopalocera}. 

 RHOPOLODONIA [Error for Rhopalodonia]. 

 RHOPTRODINARDA Brauns, 1914, p. 32. 



Genotype : Rhoptrodinard a clanigera (Fauvel) (Dinarda). 

 Fixed by : Blackwelder, here, by subsequent designation. 

 Notes : In 1916b (p. 191) Wasmann refers to this genus as "(n. g.)" but with- 

 out validation. 

 RHYGMACERA Motschulsky, 184.5, p. 40, without description. [Synonym of 

 Acylophorus.] 

 Genotype : Rhygmacera nitida Motschulsky. 

 Fixed by : Motschulsky, 1845, p. 40, by monotypy. 

 Late7' citations: R. nitida Motschulsky, by Blackwelder 1943, p. 466. 

 Synonyms: (See also Acylophorus) 



Rhegmatocera Agassiz, 1846, p. 326. [Emendation.] 

 Variant spellings : 



Rhegmacera Fauvel, 1895b, p. 275. 

 Rhegmatocera Agassiz, 1846, p. 326. [Emendation.] 

 Rhtgmatocera Chevrolat, 1848, p. 126. 

 RHYGMATOCERA [Error for Rhygmacera-^. 



RHYNCHOCHEILUS Sharp, 1889, p. 120. [Synonym of Rhyncocheilus.] 

 Genotype : Rhynchocheilus pectoraUs Sharp. 

 Fixed by : Sharp, 1889, p. 120, by virtual monotypy. 

 Synonyms : ( See Rhyncocheilus ) . 

 Variant spellings : 



Rhyncocheilus Bernhauer and Schubert, 1914, p. 394. 

 Rhtncochilus Cameron, 1932, p. 223. 

 Notes : Sharp included one other species ; since it was left unnamed, it is 

 not available as genotype. It is not at all certain that this name is really 

 synonymous with Rhyncocheilus Fauvel, since the two names were pro- 

 posed separately for separate species. Since it is currently listed as a 

 synonym, that procedure is followed here, pending examination of the two. 

 The second misspelling of this name has been made separately for Rhyn- 

 cocheilus also. 

 RHYNCHOCHILUS [Error for Rhyncocheilus]. 



RHYNCHODONIA Wasmann, 1896, p. 620. [Synonym of Termidonia.] 

 Genotype: Rhynchodoma feae (Wasmann) (Myrmedonia) . 

 Fixed by : Wasmann, 1899a, p. 150, by subsequent designation. 

 Later citations: R. feae (Wasmann), by Fenyes, 1918, p. 25; by Cameron, 



1939e, p. 506. 

 Synonyms : ( See Termidonia ) . 

 Variant spellings : 



Rtnchodonia Wasmann, 1909a, p. 49.

 RHYNCOCHEILUS Fauvel, 1882, p. 211. without description. 



Genotype: Rhyncocheiltis aureus (Fabricius) (Staphylinus) . 



Fixed by : Fauvel, 1882, p. 211, by virtual monotypy. 



Discussion : Fauvel included two species in this genus but named only one. 



It is the only species available as genotype.
