(Cuculidae; † Great Spotted Cuckoo C. glandarius) L. clamator, clamatoris shouter < clamare to shout; "Schlüsse: Cuculus glandarius kann als europäischer Vogel nicht ausgeführt werden, da sich weder Glieder über noch unter ihm nachweisen lassen; auch scheint er gar nicht in die Gattung Kuckuk zu gehören, sondern eine eigene zu bilden, welche ich Straußkuckuk Clamator nenne, und die durch die starken Fußwurzeln und die Bildung der Nasenlöcher u. sich charakterisirt." (Kaup 1829); "Clamator Kaup, Skizz. Entw.-Gesch. Eur. Thierw., 1829, p. 53 [=p. 35 (= p. 53)]. Type, by original designation and monotypy, Cuculus glandarius Linné." (Peters, 1940, IV, p. 12).
