Xantholinini
Xantholinini is a tribe of rove beetle. Description Xantholinini are small- to medium-sized short-winged beetles (from 2 mm to 2 cm) that are long and slender, short-legged, and shiny. The head is relatively long and narrow. Xantholinini live on the ground, in bedding, under rocks. The narrow body shape and short legs make them suitable for moving through narrow aisles. They are predatory beetles that eat other small arthropods. The tribe Xantholinini is represented in all zoogeographical regions.

Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson
Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson (26 November 1809 – 18 December 1848) was a German entomologist and doctor. He was the author of many articles about insects mainly in ''Archiv für Naturgeschichte''. When writing in Latin, he latinised ''Wilhelm'' to ''Guillelmus'' becoming either ''Guil. F. Erichson'' or ''G.F. Erichson.'' He wrote a paper in 1842 on insect species collected at Woolnorth in Tasmania, Australia, which was the first detailed research published on the biogeography of Australian animals and was very influential in raising scientific interest in Australian fauna. Erichson was the curator of the Coleoptera collections at the ''Museum fur Naturkunde'' in Berlin from 1834 to 1848. Erichson's Scarabaeidae classification is nearly identical to the modern one.
