DEFINITIONS

(Muscicapidae; Ϯ African Forest Flycatcher F. ocreata) Louis Fraser (?1819-?1883) English zoologist, Curator of ZSL Museum 1832-1846, Curator of Knowsley Collection 1848-1851, Vice-Consul to Dahomey 1851-1853, collector in Nigeria 1841-1842, Ecuador 1857, California 1860, and Florida 1883. "L'africaine Tephr. ochreata, Strickland, à queue arrondie, à acrotarses d'une seule pièce, admirablement figurée par Fraser dans sa Zoologie typique, méritait un genre à part que nous établissons sous le nom de Fraseria, Bp." (Bonaparte 1854); Heine and Reichenow, 1890, Nomencl. Musei Heineani Ornith., p. 41, regarded Fraseria as a barbarous name, but, uncharacteristically, did not offer any alternative or replacement; "Fraseria Bonaparte, Compt. Rend. xxxviii, pp. 386, 536, 1854. Type by monotypy, Tephrodornis ocreatus Strickland." (W. Sclater, 1930, Syst. Av. Aethiop., II, p. 411).
