Staphylimdes. 
Amblyopinus, Solsky (1875). A. Mathews (Cist. Ent. ii. pp. 275-279, 
pi. vi.) describes and figures his dissections of a second species, referred 
from description alone to this genus, and found in Tasmania on the fur of 
a live rat. Solsky ’s original species, from field-mice in South America, 
was referred by him with some hesitation to the Tachyporides ; but, 
supposing this Tasmanian exponent to be congeneric with it, A wZ>/yqpmMS 
should be placed in the “ Staphylini genuini,^' close to Philonthus, of which 
the Tasmanian insect has the form and outline, differing only in the 
prolongation of the frontal plate, the peculiarly placed and almost rudi- 
mentary eye, and the deflexed angles of the pronotum. It forms a good 
connecting link between Quedius and Philonthus. 
G. H. Horn, Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. vii. p. 185 et seq., gives a “Synopsis of 
the species of Staphylinus and the more closely allied genera inhabiting 
the United States.”
