Gelonus is also a genus of true bug (Hemiptera: Coreidae) in Tasmania, one of the few that feed on eucalypts.

One she called Agathyrsus, one Gelonus, and the other, who was the youngest, Scythes.

When the Scythians finally prepared for battle and were seen to be carefree, letting themselves be distracted by a rabbit (4.134.1), the Great King at last realized the hopelessness of his venture.
The only success of the campaign was the burning of the wooden walls of Gelonus (4.123.1); before the burning, as later in Athens, women and children were evacuated (4.121).
On the whole, Darius's Scythian campaign presents a model of a failed war of conquest, and scholars still argue about its historical worth.
