Abstract

When describing Ocypus (Pseudocypus) bicolor Smetana, 2008: 175 from China: Sichuan, I overlooked the fact that the name was a junior secondary homonym of Staphylinus helleni var. bicolor J. Müller, 1943: 105 (in Ocypus) from Caucasus. I therefore provide a replacement name Ocypus (Pseudocypus) bicoloris new name, for Ocypus (Pseudocypus) bicolor Smetana, 2008, nec Ocypus (Pseudocypus) bicolor (J. Müller, 1943).
