Introduction Two generic homonyms have been discovered among the  names  used  in  the  Colydiinae.  In  order  to  have replacement names available for other works in progress, they are presented here. Megapnosaurus I vie, Slipinski and Wegrzynowicz NEW REPLACEMENT NAME Syntarsus Raath 1969: 1 (Ceratosauria: Coelophys-idae), not Syntarsus Fairmaire 1869: 205 (Co-leoptera: Zopheridae: Colydiinae) Included species: Megapnosaurus rhodesiensis (Raath1969)NEWCOMBINATION,andMegapno-saurus lwyentakatae (Rowe 1989) NEW COMBINA-TION Fairmaire (1869: 205) described Syntarsus Fair-maire (Type Species: S. asperulus Fairmaire 1869: 206 designated by Dajoz 1980: 56) for a colydiine from Madagascar. Actions by Ivie and Slipinski (1990) made it an objective junior synonym of Cerchanotus Erichson 1845. One hundred  years  latter, Raath (1969: 1) named a genus ofCoelurosaurian dinosaur Syntarsus Raath (Type Species: S. rhodesiensis Raath 1969: 1) from the Jurassic of Zimbabwe.  Rowe  (1989)  added a species from the Jurassic of  Arizona. This homony-my has gone unnoticed, and the name of this genus is now used as the name of the in-house journal of the National Museums and Monuments of Zimba-bwe. ETYMOLOGY: This turn of events requires a new name, and although S. rhodesiensis is described inside the cover ofthe 1996 volume 3 of the journal SYNTARSUS as "a small carnivorous dinosaur," and although as good and loyal phylogeneticists, we understand that it was really not on the lizard lineage, at the scale of an entomologist, it  looks like a big dead lizard. So, in what may well be the first name for a dinosaur ever proposed in an entomolog-ical journal,  we  propose  the  replacement  name Megapnosaurus Ivie, Slipinski and Wegrzynowicz NEW REPLACEMENT NAME (masculine) as a replacement for Syntarsus Raath 1969 [not Fair-maire 1869]. Derived from the Greek nwgas (big) apnoos (dead) and sauros (lizard), this moniker seems highly appropriate for this animal. 64 Stephaniolus Ivie, Slipinski and W grzynowicz NEW REPLACEMENT NAME Pseudotaphms Stephan 1989: 26 (Coleoptera: Zo-pheridae: Colydiinae) not Pseudotaphms Coss-mann 1888: 234 (Mollusca: Rissoiidae). Included species: Stephaniolus longus (Stephan) NEW COMBINATION Stephan (1989) described Pseudotaphrus (Type Species: Pseudotaphrus longus Stephan 1989: 26, by original designation) for a species of colydiid from Arizona. Unfortunately, the name was preoccupied by Co ssm  ann's (1888) use ofthe name for a mollusk from the Eocene of France. ETYMOLOGY: This genus is named Stephanio-lus (masculine) in honor of  Karl Stephan, of  Red Oak, Oklahoma, who has contributed so much to  our knowledge of beetles and, by his generosity, our careers.
