serrati Degeer. (Esthiopterum mergi Fabr.) 
Guerin, Encyc. Meth., 1818?, PI. 254, f. 2. Credited 
to "Linn. Gm." Invalidated by previous species. 
Is a Philopterus. 
{Philopterus mergi [L.] Guerin.)

PI. 4, f. 13. Syn. Lipeurus temporalis Nitzsch. 
(Esthiopterum mergiserrati Degeer.) 
Nirmus. Leach MS. in Denny, List. Brit. An., 1852, 
p. 18. Nom. nud. = Nirmus merulensis Denny. 
{Degeeriella merulae Leach.) 
Nirmus. Leach MS. in Denny, List. Brit. An., 1852, 
p. 7. Nom. nud. = Docophorus guttatus Nitzsch. 
{Philopterus monedulae Leach.) 
Linne, Syst. Nat., 1758, p. 612. Founded on Redi, 
Tav. ix, f. 1. (Acidoproctus moschatae L.) 
Fabricius, Gen. Ins., 1776, p. 310 = suhflavescens Geoff. 
{Philopterus motacillae Fabr.) 
Schrank, Faun. Boica, 1803, p. 186. Syn. Trichodectes 
retusus Nitzsch. (Trichodectes mustelae Schr.) 
Nirmus. Leach MS. in Denny, List. Brit. An., 1852, 
p. 7. Nom. nud. = Docophorus nisi Denny. 
Scopoli, Ent. Cam., 1763, p. 382. 
(Philopterus ocellatus Scop.) 
Fabricius, Gen. Ins., 1776, p. 309 = dolichocephalus 
Scop. {Ricinus orioli Fabr.) 
Schrank, Ins. Aust., 1781, p. 503. Syn. Oncophorus 
attenuatus [Nitzsch] Piaget. 
(Rallicola ortygometrae Schr.) 
Nirmus. Leach MS. in Denny, List. Brit. An., 1852, 
p. 8. Nom. nud. Invalidated by Docophorus 
ostralegi Denny, the type of which proves it to be 
a synonym of D. leontodon Nitzsch (= sturni Schr.). 
Leach's MS. apparently refers to the true Philopterus 
of the oyster-catcher.
