Arictus Stål, C. 1865. Hemiptera Africana. Holmiae : Norstedtiana Vol. 3 200 pp. [31].
Type species:
Arictus tagalcius Stål, 1871 by subsequent monotypy, see Stål, C. 1871. Hemiptera insularum Philippinarum. Bidrag till Philippinska öarnes Hemipter-fauna. Öfversigt af Kongelige Vetenskaps-Akademiens Förhandlingar, Stockholm 27: 607-776 [672] (Arictus tagaclicus Stål, 1871 as nov. sp. for misidentification: Aradus thoracoceras Montrouzier, 1865 sensu Stål, 1866) (original publication of nominal genus did not contain included species; Stål (1866) as first reviser designated type species as Aradus thoracoceras Montrouzier, 1865; Stål (1871) subsequently described a new species, Arictus tagalicus, as a replacement name for his misidentification of Montrouzier's species; the type species is here interpreted as Arictus tagalicus Stål, 1871 according to ICZN Article 70.3).
