Bonaparte's name Cyunomyia was for many years used for this 

 genus, though of a few mouths' later date than lleichenbach's 

 subgeneric or sectional name Uranomitra. Both are equally un- 

 characterized, and if cither have claims to be adopted, the genus 

 rather than the subgenus should have the preference. Cabauis and 

 Heine raised lleichenbach's title to generic rank, and it has been 

 adopted, wrongly I think, by Elliot and subsequent writers.
