DEFINITIONS
CYANODERMA
(Timaliidae; Ϯ Chestnut-winged Babbler C. erythropterum) Gr. κυανος kuanos dark-blue; δερμα derma, δερματος dermatos skin, hide; "Gen. nov. Cyanoderma, SALVAD. (da κυανεος azzurro, e δερμα pelle) Differt novum genus Cyanoderma a genere Timelia rostro gracili, acuminato. Sp. 226 (145). Cyanoderma erythropterum (BLYTH). ... Ho creduto di dover stabilire un nuovo genere per questa specie, a causa della forma del becco, diverso da quello delle specie tipiche del genera Timelia. Il nuovo genere Cyanoderma è caratterizzato dalla forma del becco sottile ed appuntato. Quel nome allude al colore azzurro della pelle della testa e del collo negl' individui vivi della specie tipica" (Salvadori 1874); "Cyanoderma Salvadori, 1874, Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, 5, p. 213. Type, by original designation, Timalia erythroptera Blyth." (Deignan in Peters, 1964, X, pp. 301-302).
