Stephens' description of M. Staphylinoides, as Mr. Haliday 

 observes {Entomologist, 187), is chiefly taken from Gyllenhal, 

 whose insect was the M. Tesserida of Curtis, which has the 

 interstices between the ridges on the elytra smooth, while they 

 are punctate in M. Staphylinoides. It is perhaps owing to this 

 error, that M. Tesserida, which is represented with the interstices 

 " very minutely punctured," is found in Mr. Selby's List of the 

 Insects found on Twizell estate.
