DEFINITIONS
EUPHONIA
(Fringillidae; Ϯ White-vented Euphonia E. minuta) Gr. ευφωνια euphōnia goodness of voice, excellence of tone, euphony < ευφωνεω euphōneō to have a good voice < ευ eu good; φωνη phōnē voice; "Some [Tanagrinae] possess considerable vocal powers; and the notes of the subgenus Euphonia, as its name implies, are said to be particularly musical" (Swainson 1837); "LA seconde, ou celle des Tangaras Euphones, renferme les espèces dont la bec est court et assez semblable à celui des Manakins, dont les doigts sont divisés comme ceux des Tangaras, et dont les pates sont aussi longues que la queue. Exemples: l'Organiste (T. musica), le Téité (T. violacea), le Tangara chlorotique (T. chlorotica), et le Nègre (T. cayennensis): ces oiseaux doivent former un genre particulier. ... EUPHONE ORGANISTE Pipra musica. GMEL. ... Sa voix est très étendue et très variée; et ce qui est fort remarquable, c'est qu'elle est susceptible de prendre successivement tous les tons de l'octave en montant du grave à l'aigu. Cette particularité a fait donner à cet oiseau le nom qu'il porte, et même, dans quelques cantons de Saint-Domingue, celui de Musicien. ... 27. [EUPHONE] olive. . . . .(Euphonia olivacea. NOB.)" (Desmarest 1806); "Euphonia Desmarest, 1806, Hist. Nat. Tangaras, livr. 10, table [pl. 27]. Type, by monotypy, Euphonia olivacea Desmarest = Euphonia minuta Cabanis.2 ... 2 The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has suppressed the name olivacea Desmarest, 1806 (published as the binomen Euphonia olivacea) for the purposes of the Law of Priority, but not for those of the Law of Homonymy, and has placed the name minuta Cabanis, 1849 (published as the binomen Euphonia minuta) on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology, 1968, Bull. Zool. Nomencl., 25, p. 74." (Storer in Peters, 1970, XIII, p. 340).
