* The name impressa has been used, although it was preoccupied by Fabricius 

 himself. Later Gmelin changed the name to tranquebarica, and two years after 

 Olivier proposed excavata. In accordance with the sti'ictest rules the name pro- 

 posed by Gmelin should be adopted, although it conveys an erroneous idea of 

 habitat. Inasmuch as the first impressa proposed by Fabricius is now placed in 

 Halecia, it might be as well to allow the Chrysobothris to retain the name pro- 

 posed for it. It is better, at times, to violate the law of priority than perpetuate 

 an annoyance.
