● “Both Seebohm and Saunders have used Meyer’s name Sylvia turdoides, 1815, for the Great Reed-Warbler, because, according to the first named, Linnaeus in placing the species under the genus Turdus made the definition quite misleading. Turdus arundinaceus of Linnaeus was, however, founded on Klein’s Turdus musicus palustris, which undoubtedly refers to the Great Reed-Warbler, and there can be no objection to the name, which is the oldest and has always been more or less in use” (BOU 1915) (syn. Acrocephalus arundinaceus).
● “Altogether of a much Thrush-like appearance” (Hartert 1896) (Cataponera).
● "14.  COLLURICINCLE GRIVELÉ.  —  COLLURICINCLA TURDOIDES.  ...  Ce Colluricincle est originaire de Raffles-Bay.  Il appartient à la section des espèces de ce genre qui est caractérisée par un bec plus large et moins comprimée.  Ses couleurs et sa petite taille le rapprochent du Colluricincla brunnea Gould; il s'en isole par la coloration à peu près uniforme de la région thoraco-abdominale." (Pucheran 1853) (syn. Colluricincla parvula).
