DEFINITIONS
THLYPOPSIS
(Thraupidae; Ϯ Orange-headed Tanager T. sordida) Gr. θλυπις thlupis unknown small bird, perhaps a finch or a warbler; οψις opsis appearance. In ornithology thlypis signifies either a parulid warbler or, as in this case, a warbler-billed tanager; "Gen. THLYPOPSIS n. gen. *) Wald-Ruderfink. 715. 1. Th. fulvescens Nob. — Nemosia fulvescens Strickl. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 1844. p. 420. — Tanagra icterocephala Langsdorf. (Mercat.) 716. 2. Th. fulviceps n. sp. .... *) Von θλυπις, nom. prop. (Sylvicolinarum) und οψις, Aussehen. — Die natürliche Stellung der Gattung erregt einigen Zweifel, da die hierher gehörigen Arten in Grösse und Ansehen sehr an die Sylvicolinen und Nemosia erinnern. Der Schnabel ist indess eine zierliche Wiederholung der Gattung Arremon und Saltator; Flügel und Schwanz sind von mittelmässiger Länge, erstere nicht abgerundet, letzterer gerade und mit kurz zugespitzten Federn." (Cabanis 1853); "Thlypopsis Cabanis, 1851 [= 1853], Mus. Heineanum, 1, p. 138. Type, by subsequent designation (G. R. Gray, 1855, Cat. Genera Subgenera Birds, p. 74), Nemosia fulvescens Strickland = Nemosia sordida d'Orbigny and Lafresnaye." (Storer in Peters 1970, XIII, 268).
Synon. Pyrrhocoma.
pyrrhocoma
Gr. πυρρος purrhos flame-coloured < πυρ pur, πυρος puros fire; κομη komē hair.
● Genus Pyrrhocoma Cabanis, 1853, tanager (see Pyrrhocoma) (Thlypopsis).
Pyrrhocoma
(syn. Thlypopsis; Ϯ Chestnut-headed Tanager T. pyrrhocoma) Gr. πυρροκομης purrhokomēs red-haired, flame-haired < πυρρος purrhos flame-coloured < πυρ pur, πυρος puros fire; κομη komē hair; "Gen. PYRRHOCOMA n. gen. ***) Kappen-Ruderfink. 717. 1. P. ruficeps Nob. — Tachyphonus ruficeps Strickl. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 1844. p. 419. ... ***) Von πυῥῥος, rothbraun und κομη, ἡ Haupthaar. In dieser Gruppe ist die Verwandtschaft mit den Pitylinen schon deutlicher und unverkennbarer ausgeprägt. Der Schnabel ist stärker, die Flügel sind kürzer und wie der Schwanz abgerundet. Als Arten gehören hierher: P. personata. — Arremon personatus Cab. Schombgk. — P. fulviceps. — Emberiza fulviceps Orb." (Cabanis 1853); "Pyrrhocoma Cabanis, 1851 [= 1853], Mus. Heineanum, 1, p. 138. Type, by subsequent designation (G. R. Gray, 1855, Cat. Genera Subgenera Birds, p. 72), Tachyphonus ruficeps Strickland." (Storer in Peters 1970, XIII, 268); "When Pyrrhocoma is merged with Thlypopsis, Pyrrhocoma ruficeps Strickland [sic = (Strickland)], 1844, becomes a junior homonym of Thlypopsis ruficeps d'Orbigny & Lafresnaye [sic = (d'Orbigny & Lafresnaye)], 1837. Therefore, we introduce the following replacement name for Pyrrhocoma ruficeps when it is included in the genus Thlypopsis: 17. Thlypopsis pyrrhocoma, new name ... The name is to be construed as a noun in apposition. We intend adoption of the former generic name as the new specific epithet to communicate past taxonomic connections." (Burns et al. 2016).
