Revision of some types of North American aleocharines (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae), with synonymic notes Author Gusarov, Vladimir I. text Zootaxa 2003 2003-11-17 353 1 1 134 https://biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.353.1.1 journal article 5458 10.11646/zootaxa.353.1.1 740af13a-ed5c-40d0-b0c1-8d3fd2b92f56 1175­5334 5019783 104E9C0B-B207-41E6-816C-E91FC1C7DBA0 Leptusa Kraatz, 1856 Leptusa Kraatz, 1856: 60 ( type species: Bolitochara pulchella Mannerheim, 1830 ; designated by Gusarov and Herman (2003)) . (Other references are omitted) Diagnosis. See Pace (1989) . Discussion. Pace (1989) redescribed and illustrated most of the Nearctic species of Leptusa described by the previous authors. Unfortunately, he could not obtain the types of some Nearctic species and did not validly designate the lectotypes for some other species. Below I establish some new synonyms and designate the lectotypes for some Nearctic species omitted by Pace.
