G. R. Crotch has published (Etiiqniologist^ ii. pp. 307-311) a revision of 
the British Species of the genus Hister^ the characters of the species being 
derived from Be Marseul’s Monograph. lie enumerates sixteen British 
species. 
Jiister succicota (Thoms.) and H. I'i-driatus (Payk.) are recorded as British 
by Crotch, Entom. ii. pp. 308 & 311. 
Saprinus igmhilu (Woll.). The name of this species is changed by Be 
Marseul to S. iuollastoni, but no reason is assigned by him for the alteration. 
L’Abeille, i. p. 353. 
Bohrn (Stett. ent. Zeit. 18G5, pp. 67-69) has discussed the question of the 
orthography of the generic name Trypanmis, which he maintains should be 
written Tryponmiis, as originally published by Eschscholtz. The change 
from TryponcBits to Trypanmis was made by ErichsoU in the ^Nomencl. Zool.* 
of Agassiz ; l)Ut Bohrn, curiously enough, represents him as reversing this 
process. 
The Hisierid(B found in ants’ nests are referred to by von Hagens in Berl. 
ent. Zeits. 1865, pp. llO, 111. ( Cf. p. 408.)
