Marsham's name, quadripustulata, having been applied to this insect subsequently 

 to Panzer's similar application to another species, it became necessary to change 

 the former in my Catalogue ; but Marsham's name has recently been rein- 

 stated, contrary to all rules but that of inconsistency.
