Talk:Devil's coach horse beetle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"olens" means "smelling", not "oily" (it is the present participle of Lat. oleo = to smell). Corrected. 142.3.164.195 22:32, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Taxobox
Lacking any professional experience in this area, but willing to try, I'd like to create a taxobox for this insect, something like:
Devil's Coach-horse Beetle | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Scientific classification | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Binominal name | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Staphylinus olens |
Is there anyone who can check this please? Billlion 20:16, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalization
I thought we were right to stick with Devil's Coach-horse Beetle. It seems it is controversial Wikipedia:Naming conventions (fauna)#Capitalization of common names.Even then should not Devil's be captalized as we are talking about The Devil here not a devil. Billlion 2 July 2005 13:11 (UTC)
