M. Gucinde believing that he has rightly identified this
species, and erroneously supposing that the same specific
name cannot be used twice in one family, has proposed for
it the name Nitocris hicomma (Ent. Mo. Mag. V., p. 4); but
first it remains to be proved that his identification is
correct, and then the generic name only, according to
general usage, can he altered.

It will be seen, by reference to the plate, whether or not
this is Mr. Walker’s species; if so, that species will be
