However there were no descriptions or indications (Article 12.1) for any of the species so neither the generic or specific names are available. In 1844 Melsheimer cited “ Laestris fuscipes, Melsh. Catal. 1345 ” as a synonym of Stenus erythropus Melsheimer. Blackwelder (1952: 208) argued that the synonymy type species of Laestris by monotypy. Neither name is available because neither seems to have been adopted as the name of a taxon nor treated as a senior homonym (Article 11.3). Laestris is unavailable because it includes no available species and therefore has no type species]).
