Linnaeus carelessly referred to Madame Merian for a figure of this 

 species, and appended the locality " in America ; " Fabricius being 

 misled by this error, and discovering that the original description 

 did not agree with the figure in the * Insects of Surinam,' altered 

 it to " alis rotundatis integerrimis, hyalino virescentibus," adding, 

 by way of comment, " Affinis videtur P. Pierce, cujus forte mora 

 varietas," but still quoting Clerck's figure.
