Ihave named this beautiful insect after my friend Lieut.-Colonel W. H. Sykes, in 
whose cabinet it is preserved, and to whose kindness I am indebted for the free use of

His zeal and exertions for the advancement of the zoology and geology of India are 
deservedly appreciated by the naturalists of England.
