Abstract	Comparison of phallic structures indicates that the genus Orphilus includes two valid, neontological, North American species, O. ater Erichson and O. subnitidus LeConte, both of which are distinct from the European O. niger Rossi. Horry County, South Carolina, is assigned as the restricted type locality for O. ater. O. aequalis Casey is designated a junior synonym of O. subnitidus. Known habitats of each species are listed. The larva of O. subnitidus is described and compared with the published description of the larva of O. niger.
