actually, I think it is Quilnus

genus Quilnus, used to be a subgenus of Aradus, still in the subfamily Aradinae

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.)

Aradus, yes

Aradus niger Stal

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