 It is so usual with Fabricius to describe in one work, 

 under anew name, an insect which he has already described 

 in another, and forgotten, that my only doubt as to the pro- 

 priety of affixing the synonym of profanus to G. azureus, 

 arises from the epithet parvus being used in his description 

 of the former. If this word be employed in a general 

 sense, and not in comparision with S. sacer, the p? of anus 

 of Fabricius must be the carulescens of Olivier. The 

 laxity of the description in the Entornologia Systematica 

 renders it almost impossible to decide the matter.
