"Hister beetle" is much more common in Google, but there seems to be a push to change the common name because a) "hister" is Latin not English, and b) Hister is the name of a genus in the family. So I went with the newer name "clown beetle" (but note that there is a species of Carabidae also known as "clown beetle"). Stan 17:21, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
