[Community] Ethymology of the name Macromia?

[T Donnelly]

I also wonder about the etymology of Macromia.  Macro- means long; mega-
means large.

Good morning,

I have been asked what is the ethymology of the genus name MACROMIA.
I have no idea, I just suppose the prefix Macro- means there is something
big.

Any suggestion?
