DEFINITIONS
PHYLLOSCOPUS
(Phylloscopidae; Ϯ Willow Warbler P. trochilus) Gr. φυλλον phullon leaf; σκοπος skopos seeker < σκοπεω skopeō to examine; "VI. Fam. Sylviadae Vigors. 1 ... Phylloscopus: Sylv. trochilus Lath. u.v.a. ... 1 Von der Lebensweise dieser Vögel weiß man so viel, daß sie blühende Gewächse aufsuchen und vom Blumensaste, gewiß auch von Insecten leben. Von den Trochiliden unterscheiden sie sich hauptsächlich durch die Bildung des Schwanzes, der überhaupt schwächer, und die größere Länge der Schwungfedern, wovon man auf einen ganz verschiedenen Flug schließen darf." (Boie 1826); "Phylloscopus Boie, 1826, Isis von Oken, col. 972. Type, by monotypy, Motacilla trochilus Linnaeus." (Watson in Peters 1986, XI, 221).

trochiloides
(1) Gr. τροχαλος trokhalos bowed; -οιδης -oidēs resembling (i.e. curve- or slender-billed).
● "ACANTHORHYNCHUS TENUIROSTRIS TROCHILOIDES new subspecies. ... Differs from nominate tenuirostris (type locality: New South Wales) by having under parts (below the black pectoral band)much paler cinnamon, the band across nape dull rusty, not deep chestnut, and the mantle olive greyish green with a rusty tinge, not dark warm rusty brown" (Salomonsen 1966) (subsp. Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris).
● "Icterus cucullatus trochiloides, new subspecies. SAN LUCAS HOODED ORIOLE. ... Similar in general size to Icterus cucullatus nelsoni Ridgway of Arizona and southern California, but bill in both sexes longer, more attenuated in both dorsal and lateral views, and more decurved towards tip" (Grinnell 1927) (subsp. Icterus cucullatus).
(2) Specific name Motacilla trochilus Linnaeus, 1758; Gr. -οιδης -oidēs resembling.
● "18. ACANTHIZA trochiloides n. olivaceo-viridis, subtus alba, antice flavo-tincta. Cauda integra penna extima breviore, apice intus alba. Linea per oculos fusca. ... En märkvärdig likhet med var Sylvia trochilus gifver at denna lilla fogel ett större interesse för oss." (Sundevall 1837) (Phylloscopus).
● "Sp. 48. Sericornis? trochiloides, nov. sp. ... I tarsi piuttosto robusti e lunghetti, la forma del becco, e le proporzioni delle varie parti mi fanno riferire questa specie al genere Sericornis, sebbene il suo modo di colorazione sia molto aberrante, e simile a quello del Phylloscopus trochilus; è appunto per questa ragione che ho adoperato il nome specifico trochiloides." (Salvadori 1876) (syn. Phylloscopus misoriensis).
