The C500 was marketed as the Apus 2000 in Europe.

Before the 1950s, there was some controversy over which group of organism should have the genus name Apus.

Keilhack suggested ( in 1909 ) that this was incorrect since there was already an avian genus named Apus by Scopoli in 1777.

The name " Apus " is derived from the Greek " apous ", meaning " without feet ", which referred to the Western conception of a bird-of-paradise as one without feet, a misconception perpetuated by the fact that the only specimens available in the West had both feet and wings removed.

In the Romanian theatrical play Apus de Soare by Barbu Ştefănescu Delavrancea ( set in the final year of Ştefan's reign ), one can find a description of the battle in the form of a dialog between the daughters and widows of the boyars who had fallen in the battle, in which they describe how their respective fathers and husbands had to drag Ştefan out of the battle, as he desperately tried to keep fighting.

When the Ming Dynasty Chinese astronomer Xu Guangqi adapted the European southern hemisphere constellations to the Chinese system in The Southern Asterisms, he combined Apus with some of the stars in Octans to form the " Exotic Bird " ( 異雀, Yìquè ).

Plancius's constellations ( mostly referring to animals and subjects described in natural history books and travellers ' journals of his day ) are Apis the Bee ( later changed to Musca by Lacaille ), Apus the Bird of Paradise, Chamaeleon, Dorado the Goldfish ( or Swordfish ), Grus the Crane, Hydrus the Small Water Snake, Indus the Indian, Pavo the Peacock, Phoenix, Triangulum Australe the Southern Triangle, Tucana the Toucan, and Volans the Flying Fish.

Triangulum Australe is a small constellation bordered by Norma to the north, Circinus to the west, Apus to the south and Ara to the east.

Circinus is a small constellation bordered by Centaurus, Musca, Apus, Triangulum Australe, Norma and Lupus.

In Moftul Român, he parodied the archaisms favored by Ştefănescu Delavrancea ; during his final years, he also questioned the aesthetic value of Ştefănescu Delavrancea's medieval-themed play Apus de soare.

He suggested that the genus name Apus be replaced by Triops Schrank since an avian genus had already been described by Giovanni Antonio Scopoli under the name Apus.

In this treatment Apus pacificus in the more restricted sense refers to the population that breeds from Siberia to Japan and winters in Southeast Asia east to Tasmania.

The Hirundapus needletailed swifts get their name from the spiny end to the tail, which is not forked as in the Apus typical swifts.

Steadily publishing new volumes of Istoria românilor, he also completed work on several other books: in 1938, Întru apărarea graniţei de Apus (" For the Defense of the Western Frontier "), Cugetare şi faptă germană (" German Thought and Action "), Hotare şi spaţii naţionale (" National Borders and Spaces "); in 1939 Istoria Bucureştilor (" History of Bucharest "), Discursuri parlamentare (" Parliamentary Addresses "), Istoria universală văzută prin literatură (" World History as Seen through Literature "), Naţionalişti şi frontiere (" Nationalists and Frontiers "), Stări sufleteşti şi războaie (" Spiritual States and Wars "), Toate poeziile lui N. Iorga (" N. Iorga's Complete Poetry ") and two new volumes of Memorii.

The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature ( ICZN ) followed Longhurst in their 1958 ruling on the usage and origin of the genus names Triops and Apus.

It wasn't until 1958 when the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature ( ICZN ) ruled against the use of the genus name Apus and instead recognized the term Triops that the controversy finally ended.

However, other authors, starting with Louis Augustin Guillaume Bosc, had adopted the genus name Apus for the organisms Schrank had named Triops.

The deep-sky objects in Apus include the globular cluster NGC 6101.

The town was about what Wilson expected: one main street with its rows of false-fronted buildings, a water tower, a few warehouses, a single hotel ; ;

In the mornings, I was informed, fluorescent tubes, similar to the one above the counter, illuminated the entire hall.
