GENERIC NAMES OF THE FAMILY STAPHYLENIDAE 381 



TERMITUSA Wasmann— Continued 



Variant spellings : 



Tebmitsa Eichelbaum, 1915, p. 120. 

 TERMIZOPHILUS [Error for Termitozophilus'i. 

 TERMOCEL^RIS [Error for ThermocharisJ. 



TERMOPHILA Lea, 1910, p. 136. [Junior homonym of TermopMla GrassI, 1887, 

 Synonym of Hetairotennes.} 

 Genotype: Termophila latehricola Lea. 

 Fixed by : Fenyes, 1918, p. 25, by subsequent designation. 

 Later citations : T. punctiventris Lea, by Lucas, 1920, p. 633. 

 Synonyms : (See Eetairotermes) . 

 TERMOZYRAS Cameron, 1930b, p. 420. 



Genotype : Tcmiozyras politus Cameron. 

 Fixed by : Cameron, 1930b, p. 420, by monotypy. 

 TEROPALPUS Solier, 1849, p. 330. [Subgenus of Carpelimus.} 

 Genotype: Teropalpus suturalis Solier. 

 Fixed by : Solier, 1849, p. 330, by virtual monotypy. 



Later citations: T. suturalis Solier, by Chenu and Desmarest, 1857, p. 91; by 

 Lucas, 1920, p. 663 ; by Blackwelder, 1943, p. 58 ; by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 

 362. 

 Discussion : Solier included three new species, but, since two of them were 



doubtfully included in the genus, only suturalis is available as genotype. 

 Synonyyns: (See also Carpelimus) 

 Trogolinus Sharp, 1900, p. 231. 

 TERTATOPEUS [Bvror tor Tetartopeus]. 

 TESBA Sharp, 1876b, p. 194. 



Genotype : Tesba gigas Sharp. 



Fixed by : Lucas, 1920, p. 633, by subsequent designation. 

 TESNUS Rey, 1884a, p. 315. [Subgenus of Stenus]. 



Genotype: Tesnus opticus (Gravenhorst) (Stenus). 



Fixed by: Tottenham, 1940, p. 49, by subsequent designation. 



Later citations: T. opticus (Gravenhorst), by Blackwelder, 1943, p. 209; 



by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 365. 

 Discussion: Lucas (1920), p. 633) indicates opticus as the probable genotype 



but fails to make an unambiguous designation. 

 Synonymic homonyms : 



Tesnus Rey, 1884b, p. 163. 

 Synonyms : ( See also Stenus ) 

 MuTiNus Casey, 1884b, p. 146. 

 TETARTOPEUS Czwalina, 1888, p. 349. [Synonym of Lathrobium.] 

 Genotype: Tetartopeus terminatus (Gravenhorst) (Laihrobium). 

 Fixed by : Czwalina, 1888, p. 349, by implied original designation. 

 Later citations: T. terminatus (Gravenhorst), by Blackwelder, 1939, p. 122; 



1943, p. 308 ; by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 368. 

 Discussion: As pointed out by Tottenham (1949b, p. 368), Czwalina re- 

 fused to designate a genotype, although he stated that he had intended to 

 designate terminatus. It is possible to contend that Czwalina's state- 

 ments constitute type fixation, but in any case the next citation fixed the 

 same species as genotype. 

 Synonyms : ( See Lathrobium) . 

 Variant spellings : 



TERTATOPEUS Schccrpeltz, 1933, p. 1274. 

 Notes : The present disposition of this name is based on the study by Black- 

 welder (1939).
