  It 
  seems 
  very 
  probable 
  that 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  the 
  Pezotettlv 
  zhnmermamii 
  

   of 
  Saussure, 
  described 
  from 
  the 
  female 
  only, 
  but 
  I 
  find 
  it 
  impossible 
  to 
  

   determine 
  from 
  the 
  description. 
  If 
  it 
  should 
  so 
  prove, 
  of 
  course 
  tiie 
  

   name 
  has 
  priority 
  over 
  the 
  one 
  here 
  employed.
