I have very little doubt as to the claim of this 

 insect to be considered as the ji. Fahriciana of 

 Linneus: I have changed this name to Fabriciella, 

 in pursuance of the plan mentioned in the preface 

 to this work. As 1 do not recollect ever seeing a 

 figure of our Apis, I have caused one to be engraved.
