Musca suilla Fabricius, 1794 (nomen oblitum)
Cordylura spinimana Fallen, 1819 (nomen protectum)
Norellia spinimana (Fallen, 1819)
Norellisoma spinimana (Fallen, 1819)
Norellisoma spinimanum (Fallen, 1819)
Norellisoma septentrionale Hendel, 1930
Norellia septentrionale (Hendel, 1930)
The etymology and gender of the genus name is unclear. The most likely
explanation is that the name is intended to refer to the fact that the
genus has a similar body shape as flies in the genus Norellia and
therefore means "Norellia-like body". Because the greek "soma" is of
neutral gender, the genus name has to be considered a neutrum as well.
Note: the name Musca suilla (as Scatomyza suilla, Scatophaga suilla or Scathophaga suilla) has previously been misapplied to Scathophaga spurca (see there).
