Genus Pseudaptinus Laporte, 1834
Diaphorus Dejean, 1831: 300 [junior homonym of Diaphorus Meigen, 1824]. Type species: Diaphorus lecontei Dejean, 1831 by monotypy. Etymology (original). From the Greek diaphoros (different) [masculine].
Pseudaptinus Laporte, 1834: 56. Type species: Polistichus albicornis Klug, 1834 by monotypy. Synonymy established by Laporte (1840: 33). Etymology. From the Greek pseudos (fallacy, lie) and the generic name Aptinus [q.v.], alluding to the resemblance of the adults to those of Aptinus pigmaeus (" le petit insecte sur lequel je forme ce genre a le faciès de l’Aptinus Pigmaeus ") [masculine].
Tiphys Gistel, 1848a: ix [junior homonym of Tiphys Koch, 1837]. Replacement name for Diaphorus Dejean, 1831.
