302 My. H. J. Elwes’ catalogue of the 
another well-known species from South China with the 
form to which Moore now restricts the name midamus, 
yet I doubt whether any one but Mr. Moore would distin- 
guish his supposed H. midamus, Linn., from E. superba, 
Herbst., which, in his monograph of the genus, he cuts 
up into three or four species. Unless we are prepared 
to recognise these as distinct, we should, though in 
doubt as to which of them Linnzus intended to describe, 
then have to change two well-known names, and bring 
confusion into what was previously clear.
