[The name L. nitidus having been used for several other species, Mr. 

 Loew (Linn. Entom. II, p. 395), proposed for the present one the name of L. 

 gigas, which he thought was originally intended for it by Macquart, as it is 

 engraved on the plate. But the name on the plate refers to L. Audouinii, and 

 thus that proposed by Schiner has to be adopted.]
