CEdoparea was founded by Dr. Loew in the Zeitschrift fur Ento- 

 mologie zu Breslau for 1859, page 10, and has for its type species the 

 Heteromyza btcccata of Fallen. Dr. Loew draws attention to the 

 fact that in his original definition of the genus Heteromyza, Fallen 

 stated that the vibrissae are present, but as a matter of fact, this is true 

 of only one (oculata) of the two species which he places in it ; ociilata 

 therefore must be considered the type species of the genus Heteromyza. 

 About three years previous to the publication of Dr. Loew's article, 

 Rondani had selected buccata as the type of a new genus, to which he 

 applied the name Hcterostoma, but upon discovering that this name 

 had been previously used for another genus, he changed it the follow- 

 ing year to Hcterochcila. But this name was, in his opinion, too 

 near to the previously employed generic term, Heterochcihis, and, 

 accordingly, eleven years later he again changed it to Exochcila. As 

 the name proposed by Dr. Loew had been published about nine years 

 previously, it will, of course, take precedence over the name bestowed 

 by Rondani.
