  it 
  was 
  Fieber's 
  species, 
  and 
  because 
  Fieber's 
  schmidUi 
  and 
  Fischer's 
  

   mendax 
  are 
  the 
  same. 
  By 
  the 
  ordinary 
  rules 
  of 
  nomenclature, 
  the 
  

   name 
  schmidtii, 
  having 
  been 
  applied 
  to 
  one 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  could 
  

   not 
  subsequently 
  be 
  applied 
  to 
  another, 
  even 
  if 
  the 
  first 
  were 
  a 
  syno- 
  

   nym; 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  doubly 
  incorrect 
  here, 
  since 
  scJimidtii 
  of 
  Fieber 
  has 
  the 
  

   priority 
  over 
  mendax 
  of 
  Fischer. 
  It 
  is 
  therefore 
  necessary 
  to 
  give 
  the 
  

   present 
  species 
  a 
  new 
  name. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  is 
  found 
  on 
  leafy 
  buslics. 
  

  

  From 
  Carniola 
  eastward 
  to 
  Servia, 
  southern 
  Hungary, 
  and 
  Transyl- 
  

   vania.
