two Benick names are probably the same<br />
species.<br />
Stenus nigritulus Zetterstedt, 1828: 91, is<br />
a new synonym of Stenus nigritulus Gyllenhal,<br />
1827: 502. Erichson (1840: 719) cited<br />
Zetterstedt’s use as a subsequent citation of<br />
S. nigritulus Gyllenhal, so the two may be<br />
the same species.<br />
Stenus scaber Fauvel, 1871: 20 has two<br />
older synonyms, Stenus bituberculosus Motschulsky,<br />
1857a: 511 and Stenus italicus<br />
Baudi, 1870: 397. Both names have been<br />
listed as synonyms of Stenus scaber since<br />
1873 and neither was cited as valid after<br />
1899 (article 23.9.1.1). However, Herman (in<br />
press) cited only 12 articles by 4 authors<br />
published in the last 50 years that used S.<br />
scaber as valid, so the name cannot be protected<br />
by the provisions of article 23.9.1.<br />
However, more citations may likely be found<br />
with diligent search. It is premature to replace<br />
S. scaber, a name cited as valid since<br />
1871, with a name that has not been cited as<br />
valid in more than 125 years. Stenus scaber<br />
can probably be retained as valid by application<br />
to the Commission (article 23.9.3).<br />
Stenus scrutator Erichson, 1840: 708 has<br />
an older synonym, Stenus femoralis Erichson,<br />
1839: 547. Erichson seemed to propose<br />
S. scrutator as a replacement name for S. femoralis<br />
Erichson, but the latter is not a junior<br />
homonym. Although the replacement is unjustified,<br />
Stenus femoralis has been a synonym<br />
of Stenus scrutator since 1840 and was<br />
not cited as valid after 1899 (article<br />
23.9.1.1). In the last 50 years at least 27 articles<br />
by 19 authors have been published listing<br />
Stenus scrutator Erichson as valid (article<br />
23.9.1.2). A list of these citations is provided<br />
in the forthcoming catalog for the family<br />
(Herman, in press). Stenus scrutator<br />
Erichson is a nomen protectum and S. femoralis<br />
Erichson a nomen oblitum (article<br />
23.9.2).<br />
Stenus stigmula Erichson, 1840: 693 has<br />
an older synonym, Stenus maculipes Heer,<br />
1839: 215, which has been a synonym of<br />
Stenus stigmula since 1856 and was not cited<br />
as valid after 1899 (article 23.9.1.1). In the<br />
last 50 years at least 26 articles by 19 authors<br />
have been published listing Stenus stigmula<br />
Erichson as valid species (article 23.9.1.2).<br />
A list of these citations is provided in the<br />
forthcoming catalog for the family (Herman,<br />
in press). Stenus stigmula Erichson is a nomen<br />
protectum and S. maculipes Heer a nomen<br />
oblitum (article 23.9.2).<br />
Stenus subaeneus Erichson, 1840: 727 has<br />
an older synonym, Stenus gonymelas Stephens,<br />
1833: 291, which has been a synonym<br />
of Stenus subaeneus since 1873 and was not<br />
cited as valid after 1899 (article 23.9.1.1). In<br />
the last 50 years at least 25 articles by 14<br />
authors have been published listing Stenus<br />
subaeneus Erichson as valid (article<br />
23.9.1.2). A list of these citations is provided<br />
in the forthcoming catalog for the family<br />
(Herman, in press). Stenus subaeneus Erichson<br />
is a nomen protectum and S. gonymelas<br />
a nomen oblitum (article 23.9.2).<br />
TACHYPOR<strong>IN</strong>AE<br />
Bolitobius cingulatus Mannerheim, 1830:<br />
64 has an older synonym, Bolitobius bicolor<br />
(Rossi, 1790: 253). Bolitobius bicolor (Rossi)<br />
has been a synonym of Bolitobius cingulatus<br />
or Bolitobius analis Fabricius since<br />
1802 and was not cited as valid after 1899<br />
(article 23.9.1.1). In the last 50 years at least<br />
29 articles by 26 authors have been published<br />
listing Bolitobius cingulatus Mannerheim as<br />
valid (article 23.9.1.2). A list of these citations<br />
is provided in the forthcoming catalog<br />
for the family (Herman, in press). Bolitobius<br />
cingulatus Mannerheim is a nomen protectum<br />
and B. bicolor (Rossi) a nomen oblitum<br />
(article 23.9.2).<br />
Lamprinodes fairmairei (Leprieur, 1853:<br />
lx) was proposed as a replacement name for<br />
the junior primary homonym Lamprinodes<br />
pictus (Fairmaire, 1852: 71). Neither name is<br />
cited frequently, so the senior name is ressurected<br />
herein.<br />
Lordithon exoletus (Erichson, 1839: 409)<br />
has an older synonym, Lordithon angularis<br />
(Stephens, 1832: 173), which has been a synonym<br />
of Lordithon exoletus or Lordithon trinotatus<br />
since 1858 and was not cited as valid<br />
after 1899 (article 23.9.1.1). In the last 50<br />
years at least 37 articles by 29 authors have<br />
been published listing Lordithon exoletus Erichson<br />
as valid (article 23.9.1.2). A list of<br />
these citations is provided in the forthcoming<br />
catalog for the family (Herman, in press).<br />
