82 MONOGRAPHIA .ECxERIARUlM ANGLIC. 



Mr. Stephens appears to have confounded the female of this 

 species with the Stomoxyformis of Hubner ; from which, how- 

 ever, it may be at once distinguished by the want of two bright 

 red longitudinal lines on the thorax. I have carefully examined 

 the specimen described and figured by Mr. Stephens, and also 

 those in the cabinets of Mr. Davis and Mr. Chant,* and com- 

 pared them with others of my own taking, and I feel convinced 

 that they are all referable to the present species. Feminam

The alteration of this name, as to the termination of the 

 derivative, appears to me to have been not only unnecessary, 

 but improper; Formica, not Formicus, being the generic 

 name whence the present trivial name is derived. I have 

 restored the original name.
