Extract

In 1835 Westwood described Nycteribia sykesii and N. hopei, and mentioned the possibility of both being male and female of the same species. He also described N. dubia. In 1860 Bigot described N. oxycephala. In 1863 Kolenati created the genus Cyclopodia for N. sykesii and N. hopei, but did not include N. dubia in the new genus. Kolenati did not see any specimens, but based his diagnosis solely on Westwood's figures and very short descriptions. In 1878 Rondani described C. albertisi and N. ferrarii. In 1884 Karsch described C. greeffi and in 1889 de Meijere described C. horsfieldi. All these descriptions, except that of C. horsfieldi, are incomplete, and the first paper dealing in detail with ten species, of which four were new, is Speiser's monograph of 1901. Since then only three species have been described (C. inclita Falcoz, 1927; C. pembertoni Scott, 1932; and C. tenuis Schuurmans Stekhoven & Hardenberg, 1938). Speiser re-defined the genus. He mentioned the pigmented eyes with two ocelli, the broad antennae, the long anterior coxae and the three rings on the tibiae.
