Unreviewed
Taxonomic remark n.n. pro Asticta Wasmann 1916 (Nomen. Zool.). From Newton, 2017: Wasmann (1916b) described three new genera of termitophilous staphylinids: Asticta, Disticta and Termitobiella Wasmann. Blackwelder (1952) recognized that the first two names were preoccupied, and proposed for them the replacement names Felda and Zunia Blackwelder, respectively. Kistner (1972) revised these genera and synonymized all three with each other, choosing without explanation the name Felda Blackwelder as the valid name for this genus. This was incorrect, because the name Termitobiella Wasmann has priority over the other two available names proposed by Blackwelder. Termitobiella is thus here resurrected as the valid name of this genus. [details]
