CETTIA
(Scotocercidae; Ϯ Cetti's Warbler C. cetti) Fr. Francesco Cetti (1726-1778) Italian mathematician and zoologist; "SYLVIA CETTI  CANNAJOLA DEL CETTI    CETTIA ex badio brunnea: fascia superoculari, gula, pectore et tectricibus alarum inferioribus albo-cinereis; hypochondriis et tectricibus caudae inferioribus cinereo-castaneis: rectricibus decem.   MOTACILEA [sic] SYLVIA var. γ, Gmel. Syst. Nat. I. p. 956. sp. 9.   SYLVIA CETTI, Della Marmora, in Mem. Acad. Torin. XXV. p. 254. tab. 6. fig. 2.  Temm. Man. Orn. I. p. 194.  ...  USIGNUOLO DI FIUME, Cetti, Ucc. di Sard. II. p. 216.   SILVIA DI CETTI, Ranzani   ...  La Cettia di cui è tipo (anzi il solo esempio finora noto) la Sylvia Cetti, più che ad ogni altro s'avvicina al nostro gruppo Pseudo-luscinia, e la differenza consiste propriamente nelle ali  ...  Del resto nella Cettia son da notare: il capo quasi globoso: il becco sottile, breve, coi margini inflessi, privo di setole: le fasce sopracigliari pochissimo visibili: le piume del dorso tinte di colori uniformi, quelle delle parti inferiori biancastre: la coda larga, graduata, con le timoniere larghe, rotundate all' apice, tutte tinte dello stesso colore." (Bonaparte 1834); "Cettia Bonaparte, 1834, Icon. Faun. Ital., 1, text to pl. 29, fig. 3. Type, by monotypy, Sylvia cetti Marmora = Sylvia cetti Temminck." (Watson in Peters, 1986, XI, p. 8).
