Type species: Coenonica puncticollis Kraatz, 1857 , by monotypy. Notes: Coenonica is a nearly worldwide genus with about 180 valid species, one of which is adventive in New Zealand . Coenonica puncticollis Kraatz 1857 Coenonica puncticollis Kraatz 1857: 46 . Type locality: Colombo. Type depository: SDEI? #?ST; FMNH 1ST?. Note: New Zealand (at Mahana, 1956) in NZAC. Distribution: Oriental, New Guinea , Tahiti, Tanzania , Madagascar , Mauritius , Réunion , Seychelles ; intro. Australia , Europe, Egypt , USA , Guyana , Ecuador , Brazil , Jamaica , Dominican Republic , Grenada , St. Vincent , Cayman Is., New Zealand (NN (intro)). Silusa Erichson 1837 Silusa Erichson 1837: 377 . Type species: Silusa rubiginosa Erichson, 1837 , by monotypy. Notes: Silusa is a nearly worldwide genus with about 49 valid species, including two that are endemic to New Zealand . Silusa parallela Bernhauer 1943 Silusa (Stenusa) parallela Bernhauer 1943: 170 . Type locality: Neuseeland ("Fundort nicht lesbar") [published]; Curiosity Gully [ST label]. Type depository: BMNH LT; FMNH 1PLT (designated below). Distribution: New Zealand (MC). Remarks. Bernhauer did not indicate the number of specimens in the Broun collection he examined of this species. In order to stabilize this name a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated for the two syntypes we found of Silusa (Stenusa) parallela . Type material examined. Lectotype ( BMNH ): card-mounted, “ Type [round label with red border] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Curiosity 9.8.1912 . [in Broun’s hand] // 6? Segmt.

Silusa puber (Broun 1880) Gyrophaena puber Broun 1880: 90 . Type locality: Parua. Type depository: BMNH HT♂. Note: synonymy and placement in Silusa by Klimaszewski & Crosby (1997: 262) (after Hammond pers. comm.).

Type depository: BMNH LT; FMNH 1PLT (designated below). Note: synonymized by Klimaszewski & Crosby (1997: 262). Remarks. The holotype of Gyrophaena puber and one syntype of Aleochara semifusca in BMNH were confirmed and labelled by J. Klimaszewski in Klimaszewski & Crosby (1997). Bernhauer did not indicate the number of specimens examined for naming Silusa (Stenusa) arrowi . In order to stabilize this name a lectotype and one paralectotype are here designated for the two syntypes of Silusa (Stenusa) arrowi . Type material examined.
