*As bearing on the amazing reason resulting in the very unsatisfactory action 

 of some authors in altering the Linnean name of this species, Ochsenheimer writes 

 (Die Schmett., i., pt. ii., p. 101): " There is a note in Scriba' s Journal, iii., p. 211, 

 by Scharfenberg, on the orthography of boeticus. According to some remarks 

 communicated to me by Herr Stacltrath Laspeyres, of Berlin, it should most 

 probably be written baeticus; for Linne says: 'Habitat in Barbaria.' All the 

 insects of which he says this, have been found sooner or later in Spain ; this 

 species is also, without doubt, at home in Spain ; and from Pliny's Hist. Nat., lib. 

 iii., c. 1, and Tacitus' Hist., lib. i., c. 78, it may be seen that Baetica then com- 

 prised the whole of further Spain. This was surely the idea Linne had, only he 

 wrote grammatically incorrectly boeticus, which either has no meaning, or, anyhow, 

 only a far-fetched one, because it must then be derived from Boe(o)tia ; but even 

 then it must be written boeoticus.'*
