[406] Sparrman, i. 103. This insect, by Swedish entomologists, is supposed to be a species of Anobium, F., (Ptinus, L.,) but the specimen preserved in the Linnean cabinet is Silpha rosea of Mr. Marsham (Cacidula pectoralis, Meg.). A small beetle of the first family of Cryptophagus of Major Gyllenhal swarms often in the ship biscuit, and may probably be the insect Sparrman here complains of under the name of Dermestes paniceus.

[408] De Geer, v. 46. This insect appears nearly related to Mr. Marsham's Corticaria pulla (E. B. i. 11. 14. Latridius porcatus, Herbst), if it be not the same insect.

[410] This name has long been given to this insect, and the Characters of the genus were drawn by Mr. Curtis before the publication of Meigen's fifth volume (in which the genus is called Piophila); it is therefore retained. See Curtis Brit. Ent. t. 126.
