SECURIPALPUS Schubert, 1908, p. 613. [Synonym of Algon.] 

 Genotype ; Secwipalpus rudcpunctatus Schubert. 

 Fixed by : Schubert, 1908, p. 613, by monotypy. 

 Synonyms: (S^eeAlgon). 

 SEDOMOMA Tottenham, 1939a, p. 226. [Subgenus of Oxypoda.] 

 Oenotype: Sedomoma soror (Thomson) {Oxypoda). 

 Fixed by : Tottenham, 1939a, p. 226, by original designation. 

 Later citations: 8. soror (Thomson), by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 401. 

 Synonyms : ( See Oxypoda ) . 



Notes : This name was proposed as a "nom.n." for Demosoma of the Coleop- 

 terorum Catalogus and of Fenyes. This is an error, since the genotype 

 was placed in the subgenus Bessopora (of Oxypoda) in each of these 

 worlis. Tottenham states that Demosoma and Bessobia are synonymous, 

 but it is Bessopora (as stated in 1940), which is tlie same as Demosoma, 

 and it is Bessopora of authors, which had to be renamed {Sedomoma). 

 SELEUCUS Fauvel, 1903a, p. 157. [Junior homonym of Seleucus Holmgren, 

 1858. Synonym of ParapalaestrinKS.] 

 Genotype: Seleucus mutillarius (Erichson) (Palaestrinus) . 

 Fixed by : Lucas, 1920, p. 589, by subsequent designation. 

 Synonyms: (See Parapalaestrinus) . 

 SELMA Sharp, 1876d, p. 426. [Junior homonym of Selma Adams, 1863. Synonym 

 of Elmas.'i 

 Oenotype : Selma m,odesta Shai'p.

 Later citations : S. modesta Sharp, by Lucas, 1920, p. 590. 

 Synonyms : ( See Elmas ) . 

 SEMIRIS Heer, 1839, p. 342. [Subgenus of Callicerus.'] 

 Oenotype : Semiris fusca Heer. 

 Fixed by : Heer, 1839, p. 342, by monotypy. 



Later citations: S. callicera (Gravenhorst), by Thomson, 1859, p. 35, not 

 originally included. S. rigidicornis (Erichson), by Fenyes, 1918, p. 25; 

 by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 389 ; not originally included. 

 Discussion: The citation of rigidicornis can be accepted only through the 



subjective synonymy of rigidicornis and fusca. 

 Homonyms by misidentification : 



Semiris of Thomson, 1858= Callicerus s. str. 

 Synonyms: (See Callicerus). 

 SEMUS [Error for Remus].

 Notes : Since this is the oldest available name for this genus, it must be used 

 regardless of the decision on the genotype of Conurus. See discussion under 

 Conurus.
