This and the two following species were formerly included 

 under the name of M. rubra. Dr. Nylander says the male is 

 identical with the typical specimen of M. vagans in the Museum 

 at Kiel, and that the female is the M. rubra, the male also stand- 

 ing as the male of M. ccespitum : this confusion is entirely 

 avoided by adopting the names proposed by Nylander for the 

 three closely allied, but very distinct species. This species would 

 therefore, according to the laws of priority, be the M. rubra of 

 Fabricius ; but we cannot be certain that it would be so of Lin- 

 naeus, who would undoubtedly have included this and two or 

 three of the following species under that name.
