 According to Felsche (Deutsch Ent. Zeitsch., 1901, p. 154), this 

 species is identical with B. atavus, Kolbe (Stett. Ent. Zeit., vol. lv., 

 1894, p. 167), described from a 2 example. Kolbe's description 

 tallies with that of B. panza $ , but his name must prevail. The 

 original example came from northern Nyassaland.
