Note. Based on text preceding Melsheimer’s description, he presented the paper to the Academy of Natural Sciences on August 6 th and September 27 th, 1844. The article was printed in four parts in fascicle 5 (September and October, 1844), fascicle 6 (November and December, 1844), fascicle 8 (March and April, 1845), and fascicle 12 (November and December, 1845). Each fascicle contains meeting reports of the months stated in parentheses. The firefly descriptions are in fascicle 12, which was printed in 1846, not 1845.
