Scientific paper

MICHAEL1 described only four species of the genus Histiostoma from the British Isles. Of these, H. pulchrum Kramer and H. spiniferum Michael have been renamed as Sellea pulchrum and Wichmannia spiniferum respectively2. I found the hypopi of Histiostoma polypori (Oud.) on the body of the common European earwig, Forficula auricularia Linn., in Edinburgh, and all its stages were reared in the laboratory of the Department of Zoology there. Hence H. polypori is the third valid species of the genus Histiostoma to be recorded from the British Isles. Oudemans first described this species in 1914 as Anoetus polypori and gave an insufficient description based only on the hypopus.
