2001 HERMAN: <strong>NOMENCLATURAL</strong> <strong>CHANGES</strong>, STAPHYL<strong>IN</strong>IDAE 3 ABSTRACT More than 775 nomenclatural changes are proposed and nomenclatural problems are discussed for the Staphylinidae. Two generic names are proposed as replacement names: Torobus for species formerly in Trigonopselaphus, and Ryvkinius for the preoccupied Mesoporus Ryvkin. Type species are fixed or problems with the type species are discussed for: Entomoculia, Eumegalopsidia (an unavailable name), Anthobium, Lesteva, Phyllodrepoidea, Aleioglyphesthus, Bolitogyrus, Cephalonthus, Diatrechus, Euremus, Indoquedius, Philothalpus, Philonthopsis, Pseudoremus, Leptophius, Stenus (Nestus), Coproporus, and Paratachinus. The type species for Entomoculia, Anthobium, Phyllodrepoidea, Leptophius, and Stenus (Nestus) are fixed under provisions of article 70.3 of the Code. Emendations are cited or one of multiple original spellings adopted in Bledius, Bryoporus, Carpelimus, Edaphus, Eleusis, Gauropterus, Indosorius, Lispinus, Lithocharodes, Medon, Osorius, Philonthus, Piestus, Pinophilinus, Platydracus, Priochirus, Prognathoides, Quedius, Stenus, and Trigonurus. New combinations are proposed in Arrhenopeplus (3), Dialycera (2), Eusphalerum (14), Nacaeus (19), Pseudoxyporus (4), Homalotrichus (1), Thinodromus (2), Gabrius (1), Platydracus (57), Torobus (9), Bryophacis (7), Ischnosoma (16), Lordithon (66), Ryvkinius (1), and Sepedophilus (244). Fifty-nine new synonyms are listed for Micropeplus (1), Anthophagus (2), Eusphalerum (1), Phloeonomus (1), Eleusis (1), Leptochirus (1), Neolosus (1), Osorius (5), Priochirus (1), Anotylus (1), Bledius (1), Carpelimus (1), Ochthephilus (1), Apoquedius (1), Diatrechus (1), Erichsonius (2), Gabrius (2), Gastrisus (1), Hesperus (2), Heterothops (2), Leptacinus (1), Notolinus (1), Phallolinus (1), Philonthus (6), Quedius (5), Staphylinus (2), Tasgius (1) Xantholinus (4), Stenus (7), Sepedophilus (1), and Tachinus (1). Polyphematiana E. Strand is a junior synonym of Trigonopselaphus Gemminger and Harold. Eleven names are resurrected from synonymy, one each in Phyllodrepoidea, Anotylus, Oxytelus, Loncovilius, Philonthus, Platydracus, Lordithon, Mycetoporus, and Tachinus and two in Stenus. Under provisions of article 23.9.1 of the Code, 28 junior synonyms are protected in Amphichroum (1), Carpelimus (1), Deleaster (1), Proteinus (1), Bisnius (1), Leptacinus (1), Megalinus (1), Neobisnius (1), Ocypus (1), Philonthus (3), Quedius (4), Tasgius (2), Stenus (5), Bolitobius (1), Lordithon (1), Mycetoporus (1), and Tachyporus (2). Provisions of the same article protect 5 junior homonyms in Eusphalerum (1), Xylodromus (1), Quedius (1), Tachinus (1), and Tachyporus (1). Under provisions of article 23.9.3 of the Code, 15 junior synonyms will be referred to the Commission for rulings under the plenary power. Pending the outcome of these cases, use of the junior name is maintained. The affected species are in Eusphalerum (1), Lesteva (1), Omalium (1), Phloeostiba (1), Xylodromus (1), Anotylus (1), Bledius (1), Carpelimus (1), Ocypus (1), Philonthus (1), Quedius (4), and Lordithon (1). Under provisions of article 23.9.5 of the Code, 64 junior primary homonyms will be referred to the Commission for rulings under the plenary power. Pending the outcome of these deliberations, use of the junior name is maintained. The species are in Eusphalerum (1), Mannerheimia (1), Omaliomimus (1), Omaliopsis (1), Omalium (4), Phyllodrepa (1), Pycnoglypta (1), Xylodromus (1), Anotylus (1), Bledius (1), Carpelimus (1), Oxyporus (1), Belonuchus (2), Bisnius (1), Cafius (2), Cheilocolpus (1), Diatrechus (1), Endeius (1), Gabrius (5), Hesperus (2), Leptacinus (1), Nordus (1), Paederomimus (1), Philonthus (10), Platydracus (3), Quedius (2), Staphylinus (6), Xantholinus (2), Xanthopygus (1), Xenopygus (2), Carphacis (1), Coproporus (1), Tachinomorphus (1), and Tachinus (3). Replacement names are proposed for 90 preoccupied names in 37 genera: Euaesthetus (1), Leptotyphlus (1), Micropeplus (1), Eusphalerum (2), Lesteva (1), Olophrum (1), Omalium (2), Clavilispinus (1), Eleusis (3), Holotrochus (3), Leptochirus (1), Lispinus (4), Osorius (3), Priochirus (2), Thoracochirus (1), Anotylus (2), Carpelimus (2), Platystethus (1), Atanygnathus (1), Bisnius (1), Diochus (1), Gabrius (3), Hesperus (2), Heterothops (1), Leptacinus (3), Philonthus (19), Quedius (4), Staphylinus (3), Tasgius (1), Dianous (1), Bolitobius (1), Carphacis (1), Coproporus (3), Lordithon (3), Sepedophilus (5), Tachinus (4), Tachyporus (1).
