Taxonomic remark The genus name Gyrohypnus was published twice, the first instance on p. 172 of Samouelle's "The entomologists' useful compendium..." (1819), variously attributed to Kirby, Samouelle, or Leach (with no description but the name made available by designating Staphylinus fulgidus as type), and the second, by Mannerheim in 1831, incorporating a description of the genus but interpreted as a later usage by Smetana, 1979. A further associated authority, by Mulsant & Rey (undated) was previously included in IRMNG to 2022 from an external source, but is now treated as erroneous (Mulsant & Rey did redefine the genus but that has no nomenclatural significance that affects its date of original publication). The authority name instance in Samouelle's work has been variously reported as "Kirby 1819, in Samouelle, Entom. Compend., 172" (per Neave), "Samouelle, 1819, ex Kirby MS" (per Smetana, 1979 and ICZN Opinion 1250, 1983), and "Leach, 1819" (per Smetana, 2004), the latter attribution currently (2022) also found in Catalogue of Life (originating in the Staphyliniformia world catalog database), GBIF, Fauna Europaea, and the Australian Faunal Directory, which cites the original work as "Leach, W.E. 1819. Class V. Insecta. pp. 134-304 in Samouelle, G. The entomologists' useful compendium, or an introduction to the knowledge of British Insects. London : Boys 496 pp. [172]." Therefore, despite the authority appearing as either "Samouelle, 1819, ex Kirby" or simply "Samouelle" in ICZN official works (repeated once more in Opinion 1851 (1996)), at present in IRMNG we accept that the attribution to Leach, published as a part of Samouelle's larger 1819 work, is correct.

Subfamily Staphylininae [details]Taxonomic remark The genus name Gyrohypnus was published twice, the first instance on p. 172 of Samouelle's "The entomologists' useful compendium..." (1819), variously attributed to Kirby, Samouelle, or Leach (with no description but the name made available by designating Staphylinus fulgidus as type), and the second, by Mannerheim in 1831, incorporating a description of the genus but interpreted as a later usage by Smetana, 1979. A further associated authority, by Mulsant & Rey (undated) was previously included in IRMNG to 2022 from an external source, but is now treated as erroneous (Mulsant & Rey did redefine the genus but that has no nomenclatural significance that affects its date of original publication). The authority name instance in Samouelle's work has been variously reported as "Kirby 1819, in Samouelle, Entom. Compend., 172" (per Neave), "Samouelle, 1819, ex Kirby MS" (per Smetana, 1979 and ICZN Opinion 1250, 1983), and "Leach, 1819" (per Smetana, 2004), the latter attribution currently (2022) also found in Catalogue of Life (originating in the Staphyliniformia world catalog database), GBIF, Fauna Europaea, and the Australian Faunal Directory, which cites the original work as "Leach, W.E. 1819.

Therefore, despite the authority appearing as either "Samouelle, 1819, ex Kirby" or simply "Samouelle" in ICZN official works (repeated once more in Opinion 1851 (1996)), at present in IRMNG we accept that the attribution to Leach, published as a part of Samouelle's larger 1819 work, is correct.
