crassus Nitzsch. (Trichodectes melis Fabr.) 
Fabricius, Spec. Ins., 1781, p. 480 = Ricinus mergi¬ 
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.) 
Ricinus. Degeer, Mem. Hist. Ins., vii, 1778, p. 78, 
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 = subflavescens 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 (= stumi Schr.). 
Leach’s MS. apparently refers to the true Philopterus 
of the oyster-catcher.
