coinage

So war ich durch den Bau des Chitinskeletes der Unterlippe der Larven genöthigt, die beiden Familien Empidae und Dolichopoda von Schiner's Orthoceren zu trennen und auch aus meiner Tribus Platygenya auszuscheiden und für beide die Tribus Orthogenya aufzustellen.

1883, Friedrich Moritz Brauer, Die Zweiflügler des Kaiserlichen Museums zu Wien, volume 3 (in German), page 2:

I use the names Eremoneura Lameere (1906) and Orthogenya Brauer (1883) in preference to Hennig's names Muscomorpha and Emipidiformia, both on grounds of priority and because at least the use of the suffix '-morpha' leads to formal difficulties[…]
