Mentioned in Elliman (1902) as a collector in the Hemel Hempstead area, and there are specimens bearing this name in the Elliman collection at N. Herts Museum. (I am grateful to Trevor James for this information). Piffard collected the first specimen in this  country of the rare staphylind Orochares angustatus the specimen being passed to C.T.Gimingham along with the rest of his collection(James , 2018, 141) (Thanks to Andrew Duff for pointing this out to me). There is an obituary by C. Morley in Ent., 43, 1910, pp.127-28. (MD 9/04, 9/20)
