In 1885, Brauer was able, for the first time, to examine the gastric larvae from a specimen of Rhinoceros sumatrensis, which died in the Zoological Garden at Hamburg. He recognized that they were distinct from Gasterophilus and placed them in a new genus Gyrostigma, under the name of G. sumatrensis. [Verh.k.k.zool.bot.Ges Wien, 34: 269-270, tab.X]
