f Cramer's figure certainly represents a male insect, of which 1 possess a specimen. I should, therefore, have employed the specific name Telemachus for 

 this species; but prefer retaining the name of the female, in order to avoid confusion with the Linntean P. Telemachus, which is probably the female of M. 

 Anaxibia.
