Malthacus vs. Podabrus
From a strict taxonomic viewpoint the name Malthacus Kirby should not yet be used. While it is true that most of the species in Fender's (1949) Groups II-VIII of Podabrus will eventually be transferred to Malthacus (formerly a subgenus of Podabrus), however, none of these transfers have formally taken place. As such, calling these species Malthacus is still premature.
