[Fabricius, in the Syst. Ent., perhaps in consequence of a lapsus calami 

 writes illucens for filata and mce versa. In the Spec. Insectorum, as if becom- 

 ing aware of his error, he correctly quotes Syst. Ent. 756, 1 (which is B. illucens) 

 as a synonym of his B. filatus. Wiedemann, in Monogr. Midar., and Westwood, 

 Arcana, quote correctly B. illuceris, Syst. Ent. 756, 1 ; Oerstaecker erroneously 

 B. filatus, Syst. Ent. 757, 2 (which is Hermetia illucens).]
