DEFINITIONS
TITYRA
(Tityridae; Ϯ Western Black-tailed Tityra T. cayana) Tityrus, the name of a rustic shepherd in Virgil’s Eclogues. The ancients also gave the name Tityri to the satyrs and other raucous companions of Pan and Bacchus, and this meaning is more applicable to the noisy, aggressive behaviour of the Black-tailed Tityra; "BÉCARDE, Tityra. Lanius, Linn. Gm. Lath. Bec glabre à la base, robuste, épais, droit, un peu déprimé, convexe dessus et dessous; mandibule inférieure entaillée, aiguë et retroussée à la pointe. — Bouche ample, ciliée. Esp. Bécarde, Buff." (Vieillot 1816); "Tityra Vieillot, 1816, Analyse, p. 39. Type, by monotypy, "Bécarde" Buffon = Lanius cayanus Linnaeus." (Snow in Peters 1979, VIII, 241).
Var. Tetyra, Tytira.

Black-crowned Tityra (erythrogenys)
SCI Name: Tityra inquisitor erythrogenys
ERYTHROGENYS
(Timaliidae; † Rusty-cheeked Scimitar-babbler E. erythrogenys) Specific name Pomatorhinus erythrogenys Vigors, 1832. "Erythrogenys "Hodgs." = Baker, 1930, Fauna Brit. India, Birds, ed. 2, 7, p. 39. Type, by original designation and tautonymy, "E[rythrogenys]. gouldii = P[omatorhinus]. erythrogenys Vigors." Not Erythrogenys Brandt, 1841, nomen emendatum for Erythrogonys Gould, 1838." (Deignan 1964 in Peters, X, p. 266); "Baker (1930) coined this name by accident, citing Hodgson, 1836 but Hodgson had in fact used Erythrogonys, which was preoccupied. Baker's name is not preoccupied by Erythrogenys von Brandt as that was a nomen emendatum and has no standing." (Dickinson and Christidis (eds.), H. & M. Complete Checklist, 4th ed., 2014, 2 (Passerines), p. 528).
Synon. Megapomatorhinus, Orthorhinus.
