C o m m e n t: The original description of Stilicus subtilis is based on an unspecified number of syntypes from " Austria, Dom. Schüppel" and "Saxonia montana, Dom. Märkel" ( ERICHSON 1840). In the historical collection of the MNHUB, four specimens standing next to the labels "6400 / subtilis Dahl. Er. , Austria Schüp., Saxon. Märkel" were located. The labels attached to the pins with the specimens were added recently, and the indication "German. Sicil." is probably erroneous. All four specimens are regarded as syntypes and a male is designated as the lectotype. It is in agreement with the interpretation of LOHSE (1964) and COIFFAIT (1984).

The nomen dubium Rugilus salicetorum GISTEL was described in the same article as the doubtful name in the following section. The original description is almost void of informative details regarding the identity of the species. Therefore, the name is placed in the synonymy of Rugilus subtilis ( ERICHSON 1840) .
