Table 1 in Out of Xanthopygus (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae): escape from polyphyly

Table 1. List of Xanthopygus species sensu Herman and their current name based on this paper. Bold type font on the first column indicates taxa included in the phylogenetic analysis. Taxa not included in this analysis but transferred to Photinopygus have all the diagnostic features of Photinopygus. Similarly, taxa that remained in Xanthopygus but were not included in the analysis have all the diagnostic features of Xanthopygus sensu novo.

a: The species was listed as nomen dubium by Herman (2001), and was originally described as distributed in Austria, which is peculiar given that no Xanthopygina are known from the Palearctic. I have contacted the Curator of Coleoptera in the Natural History Museum of Graz, Austria, where the Grimmer collection is housed and no taxa matching this name exist in the collection (Hausl-Hofstätter personal communication). It is unlikely that any specimens exist that can be attached to this name.
