But Cyzicus, Audouin, appears to be of earlier date than 

 Estheria, and to have been recognised as synonymous with 

 it, though for vagueness or some other reason usually dis- 

 carded. At least provisionally, it is convenient to revive it 

 for those species of Estheria which have not been transferred 

 to other genera, and which would otherwise be in want of a 

 valid generic name. 



CYZICUS, Audouin.

 1846. Cyzicus, Loven, K. Vet. Ak. Handlingar for Ar 1845, p. 428. 



The first three references are borrowed from Loven, who, 

 in giving precedence to Audouin and mentioning that his 

 paper dated from February, probably intended to emphasise 

 the priority of Cyzicus over Estheria. Isaura, like Estheria, 

 is preoccupied.
