ANALYSIS. 513 



Sturm was the first who pointed out the distinction be- 

 tween this species and the former. So many excellent ob- 

 servations on the subject are to be found in this Natura- 

 list's V erzekhniss, that Schonnher certainly appears to have 

 been too hasty in rejecting the notion of their being di- 

 stinct species. As, however, Sturm unfortunately gave the 

 name of Geoffroyi to the common species, and indeed to the 

 only one that could have been confounded with A. volvens, 

 I have thought proper to return to the Fabrician synonyms, 

 which he has cited erroneously.
