It is important to notice that some copies of the same edition of Fabricius’ (1803a) book, apparently, have corrections made directly in the text, in addition to the Emendanda slip attached at the end of the book. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library (USA) has two copies of the book. One of the copes has the taxon 50 on page 42 marked as dimidiata, while the other copy has the same taxon labeled as haematodes. Apparently in the middle of the printing process, an incorrect identification was discovered, and a new species name was introduced. The name is still available according to ICZN (1999), since the name was published in numerous copies of the book.
