 Genotype : Stilicioides micans Broun. 

 Fixed by : Broun, 1880, p. 95, by monotypy.

 Genotype : Stilicoderus signatus Sharp. 

 Fixed by : Sharp, 1889, p. 320, by monotypy. 

 Later citations: S. signatus Sharp, by Lucas, 1920, p. 615; by Blackwelder, 



1939, p. 121. 

 Synonyms : (See Stiliderus ) . 

 Variant spellings : 



Stilocodebus Cameron, 1931a, p. 252.

 STILICOIDES [Error for Stilicioides]. 

 STILICOLINA Casey, 1905, p. 228. 



Genotype: Stilicolina tristis (Melsheimer) {Stilicus). 

 Fixed by : Casey, 1905, p. 228, by monotypy. 



Later citations: S. tristis (Melsheimer), by Lucus, 1920, p. 615; by Black- 

 welder, 1939, p. 121. 

 Synonyms : 



Omostilious Casey, 1905, p. 229. 

 STILICOPSIS Sachse, 1852, p. 144. 



Genotype : Stilicopsis paradoxa Sachse. 



Fixed by : Sachse, 1852, p. 144, by monotypy. 



Later citations: 8. paradoxa Sachse, by Lacordaire, 1854, p. 97; by Lucas, 



1920, p. 615 ; by Blackwelder, 1939, p. 121. 

 Discussion: Lucas (1920, p. 615) lists a Stilicopsis Erichson with genotype 

 8. stigma Erichson. This is based on a misuse by Fauvel in 1901 for 

 Dibelonetes. 

 STILICOSOMA Casey, 1905, p. 219. [Synonym of Rugilus.] 

 Genotype: Stilicosoma rufipes (Germar) (Rugilus). 

 Fixed by : Casey, 1905, p. 219, by monotypy. 



Later citations: 8. rufipes (Germar), by Blackwelder, 1939, p. 122. 

 Synonyms: (See Rugilus). 

 STILICTUS [Error for Stilicus]. 

 STILICUS Berthold, 1827, p. 331. [Synonym of Rugilus.] 



Genotype: Stilicus orbiculatus (Paykull) (Staphylinus). 

 Fixed by : Cuvier, 1849, p. 185, by subsequent designation. 

 Later citations: 8. orbiculatus (Paykull), by Thomson, 1859, p. 28; by Lucas, 



1920, p. 615 ; by Blackwelder, 1939, p. 122 ; 1943, p. 299. 

 Discussion: Tottenham (1940, p. 53) cites Latreille (1827) as author and 

 states that the genotype was fixed by Thomson (1861). Actually Berthold 

 is the author of the 1827 work, where no species were included. The first 

 species to be included were orbiculatus and fragilis by Lepeletier and 

 Serville in 1828 (p. 495). Thomson's designation (in 1859) was subsequent 

 to that of Cuvier. In 1949b, Tottenham cited this genus from the Encyclo- 

 p^die Methodique, vol. 10, p. 495, which he dated 1825. According to 

 Sherborn and Woodward (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, vol. 17, pp. 578, 

 1906), this page is in part 2 which was not published until 1828.
