DEFINITIONS
CACICUS
(Icteridae; Ϯ Red-rumped Cacique C. haemorrhous) Spanish name “Cacique” for the caciques < Carib name cazique for a brightly feathered chieftain (“Cassique Rouge ... "Les Guianois l'appellent CASSIQUE" (Brisson 1760)); "CASSICUS Cuv. ... Oriolus Galbula Coraciis annumerandus est, at Linnaei quidem characteres Orioli potius Icteris Brissonii, quam illi Galbulae convenire videntur, hinc nomen retinui. Cassicus a maxillae basi, cassidis seu galeae instar frontem tegente, vocatus est, hinc Cacicus falso scribitur" (Illiger 1811); “Ce nom s’écrit indifférement cassicus, du latin casque, ou cacicus, du nom péruvien cacique” (Lesson 1831); "33.

Les oiseaux qui composent ce genre, ont été confondus par la plupart des Ornithologistes avec les Troupiales, auxquels ils ressemblent en effet beaucoup par la forme, par les mœurs et par la manière de vivre. Ils vont en bandes nombreuses dévaster les champs ensemencés, et ils sont aussi de grands dégâts sur les arbres fruitiers, parce quils se nourrissent de fruit et de baies; ils ne dédaignent même pas certains insectes" (de Lacépède in Daudin 1800: ex "Cassique jaune" of Brisson 1760, and "Troupiale" or "Cassique jaune du Brésil" of d'Aubenton 1765-1781); "Cacicus Lacépède, 1799, Tabl. Méth. Mamm. Ois., p. 6. Type, by subsequent designation (Zimmer, 1930, Field Mus. Nat. Hist. Publ., Zool. Ser., 17, p. 434), Oriolus haemorrhous Linnaeus." (Blake in Peters, 1968, XIV, p. 144).
