mydas flyn.

Brit.

/ˈmʌɪdəs flʌɪ/, U.S.

/ˈmaɪdəs ˌflaɪ/

Forms: 1800s– Midas fly, 1900s– Mydas fly. Also with lower-case initial.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin Mydas , fly n.¹

Etymology: < scientific Latin Mydas, genus name (J. C. Fabricius in Entomologia Systematica (1794) IV. 252; < Hellenistic Greek μίδας an insect destructive to beans: see mida n.) + fly n.¹The scientific Latin genus name was recoined in 1828 in the spelling Midas, which is closer to the Greek (C. R. W. Wiedemann in Außereurop. zweifl. Insekten I. 240). The spelling mydas may have arisen from a misconception that i should be spelt y in words of Greek origin.

Any of various large insectivorous dipteran flies constituting the family Mydaidae (or Mydidae), which are hairless and have clubbed antennae.
