Citation for generic status
Is there a particular paper that promoted Aradus (Quilnus) to genus? We normally follow Nearctica and I'd like to cite a reference on the genus page if we use a different classification.

(Nearctica and ITIS say subgenus. Faunaeur says genus.)

The pronotum is trapezoidal and it is black, making it Aradus niger, the only Aradus with these characters.
