Entomologists at first had trouble differentiating the difference between subfamilies and genera of the Chironomidae, but had a breakthrough regarding the recognition of difference in their pupal stage. The genus name Chironomus was decided, which was derived from the Ancient Greek word cheironomos, meaning to gesture with your hand. This followed the spirit of the family name Chironomidae, which in Ancient Greek means a pantomimist or one who entertains or dances with exaggerated hand movements.

Ebsworth was the daughter of Robert Fairbrother, member of the Glovers' Company, and in later years a pantomimist and fencing-master, was born in London. Her father was an affectionate friend of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and though he had lost several thousand pounds by him would never permit one word to be spoken in his disparagement. He was also the schoolmate and lifelong friend of Mrs. Jordan; great efforts were made to induce him to surrender her letters, many from the Duke of Clarence; but he indignantly refused any bribe, and himself destroyed all his papers, lest his descendants might be tempted. Under the avowed signature of ‘Sheridonicus’ he wrote some papers in ‘Thalia's Tablet, or Melpomene's Memorandum Book,’ of which No. 1 was published on Saturday, 8 Dec. 1821.
