Apis (constellation)

 

Apis (constellation)

Apis (Latin for bee) was a constellation located south of constellation Crux. The constellation was present in the star atlases by Johann Bayer in 1603. In 1752 Nicolas Louis de Lacaille renamed it to Musca Australis, the Southern Fly. After the Northern Fly, Musca Borealis, was discarded, the name was shortened to Musca.
