DEFINITIONS

TYLAS
(Vangidae; Ϯ Tylas Vanga T. eduardi) Gr. τυλας tulas, τυλαδος tulados  kind of thrush mentioned by Alexander Myndios; "TYLAS *, n.g.  (Pycnonotinæ).   Char. Gen.—Rostrum satis robustum et elongatum, rectiusculum, emarginatum, dimidio apicali compressum, basin versus dilatatum; culmine carinato, subarcuato; naribus apertis, ovalibus; vibrissis rictalibus nonnullis conspicuis, mollibus.  Alæ longiusculæ, caudæ dimidium superantes; remige prima subspuria, quarta et quinta longissimis, subæqualibus, tertia breviore, secunda multo breviore.  Cauda longa, æqualis.  Tarsi breviusculi; pedibus parvis; digitis gracilibus, debilibus, interno vix breviore; unguibus debilibus.   TYLAS EDUARDI, sp. nov.   ...   The genus Tylas is nearly related to Hypsipetes, but differs in the beak being decidedly stronger, broader, and more inflated; in the longer wings, which in Hypsipetes do not reach to the middle of the tail; in the tail being proportionally shorter; and in the rictal bristles being much more developed. The under tail-coverts are very long. The iris is yellow—a colour not found hitherto in the genus Hypsipetes. The whole system of coloration is different from that of the latter genus.   ...   *τυλας, "avis quædam ignota turdina." " (Hartlaub 1862); "Tylas Hartlaub, 1862, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 152. Type, by monotypy, Tylas eduardi Hartlaub." (Rand in Peters 1960, IX, 299). The relationships of the Tylas Vanga or Kinkimavo still remain unresolved.

Tylas Vanga (White-throated)
SCI Name: Tylas eduardi albigularis

L. albus  white; Mod. L. gularis  throated  < L. gula  throat.
● “Hellmayr proposed Automulus roraimae as a new name for Philydor albigularis Salvin and Godman on grounds that it was a homonym of Philydor albogularis Spix ... 1824 ... however under the International Rules albigularis and albogularis are different names” (Peters VII 1951); “Under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature Art. 58 (8) these two names are homonymous variable spellings and under Arts. 57 and 59 (a) primary homonyms, so Hellmayr was correct and Vaurie was wrong” (Eisennann in Vaurie 1980) (syn. Automolus roraimae).
