Staudinger and Wocke quote this species thus : — " Schreberi- 

 ana (CI. Ic. 8. 10. Figurasinenom. typogr.) L. F. S. p. 348." 

 In the Berlin, Tring, and Merton copies of Clerck's ' Icones,' 

 PI. VIII. f. 10 has the ENGRAVED name " dimidiana.' 1 '' 



In the following copies " dimidiana " has been erased, 

 " Screberiana" being substituted in MS.: Mus. Br. (NH), 

 Herrich-Schaffer, and Freyer (teste Zeller), Lin. Soc. Lond. 

 (Linna?us's own copy), Oxford Mus. (Radcliffe Library). In 

 two copies, Mus. Br. (Banksian Library) and Mr. Grodman's, 

 " Schreberiana "occurs in MS., and in the Zool. Soc. Lond. 

 copy the name is " Sceberiana " in MS. 



This figure is indexed as " Screberiana, 8. 10," in the 

 register to the ' Icones,' II. p. (3). 



In the t Fauna Suecica ' citations from Clerck's ' Icones ' 

 occur (e. g. gelatella, CI. VIII. 3) ; precedence must there- 

 fore be given to Clerck's names, and since at least three 

 copies are still extant with dimidiana engraved on the plate, 

 this name must be accepted as valid. Linnaeus omits to 

 cite Clerck's figure, and Clerck probably adopted Linngeus's 

 name when he issued his second part in 1764, but neither he 

 nor Linnaeus (in 1761) had the power to change a name 

 which had become established in 1759.
