(Richmond -- http://zoonomen.net/cit/RI/Genera/P/p01597a.jpg -- and Neave -- http://ubio.org/NZ/browse.php?vol=3&page=912 -- both dated this name to 1889, but I don't know on which base. The title page of this issue is dated "1888"; I see nothing in the contents that suggests delay; on p. 153, there is a "programme of field naturalists' excursions", which lists excursions planned for Nov and Dec 1888.)

Remark: Eugen Kessler and Ida Horváth, 2022 write: The genus was established in 1939 by C. Gaillard on the basis of two tarsometatarsus from Csarnóta, Hungary, describing the species as Pliogallus crassipes and P. kormosi. In 1975, D. Jánossy examined the material in the collection of the University of Lyon and concluded that the bones of extant hen tarsometatarsus were treated with chemicals (Jánossy 1976b, Mlíkovskỳ 2002). In the early 2000s, L. Pongrácz re-excavated Csarnóta 4 and found some bird bones, which he gave to J. Kessler for identification. Among them were a carpometacarpus and some foot toes and claw bones. They show typical chicken characteristics, both morphologically and in size. They are yellowish brown in colour, which is quite typical of the fossil remains of the site. We do not take a position on Jánossy’s opinion of the original material but accept the genus name with the new species name. The genus is not known from sites in Europe outside the Carpathian Basin.
