Dyaria

[Michael Gochfeld]

As I think I mentioned to this list previously,  John B. Smith (Rutgers 
and NJ State Entomologist until 1912), named this genus as a payback to 
his rival, Harrison Dyar who had previously named something 
"corpulentis" in honor of the rotund Smith. 

Thanks to Doug for finding that Dyaria exists(ed) as a name. But I never 
figured out what taxon corpulentis went with.
