The name of Athemon having been given to the female of this species, I have 
adopted it in preference to following Donovan and using that of Coenus, proposed by 
Fabricius for the male, rejecting the latter name in consequence of its similarity 
to Ceneus, a name employed by Fabricius for another species of Erycina. It is cus- 
tomary, however, in such cases, to adopt the specific name of the male rather than of 
the female, where they happen to have been previously described under different 
names.
