DEFINITIONS

UROCISSA
(Corvidae; Ϯ Red-billed Blue Magpie U. erythrorhyncha) Gr. ουρα oura  tail; genus Cissa Boie, 1826, magpie; "Gen. UROCISSA nov. gen. *) Schweif-Kitta.  Callocitta Gray pt.   487.  1. U. sinensis Nob. — Cuculus sinensis Lin.  Corvus erythrorhynchus Gm. Syst. No. 34. — Caracias melanocephala Lath. — Psilorhinus sinensis Blyth.   ...   488.  2. U. flavirostris Nob. — Psilorhinus flavirostris Blyth. Jour. As. Soc. Bengal. Vol. XV. (1846) pag. 28. No. 5.   ...   *) Gray stellte den Typus der Gattung, den Cuculus sinensis Lin. zu seiner Gattung Callocitta und vereinigte später diese Gattung mit Psilorhinus Rüpp. Typus der Gattung Callicitta ist Bullocki (Wagl) und ist dieselbe nahe verwandt mit Psilorhinus, indem beide zu den Garrulinen gehören. Urocissa gehört indess keineswegs in die Familie der Corvidae, sondern steht sicherlich in naher Verwandtschaft mit Cissa, wie von uns schon früher angedeutet worden ist.  Ausser den beiden aufgeführten unterscheidet Blyth noch 3 Arten oder Abarten:  1. U. occipitalis. — Psilorh. occipitalis Blyth. von Nepal.   2. U. magnirostris. — Psilorh. magnirostris Blyth. von Arracan   ...   3. U. albicapillus. — Psil. albicap. Blyth. von Simla" (Cabanis 1853); "Urocissa Cabanis 1850 [= 1853], Mus. Hein., 1, p. 87. Type, Corvus erythrorhynchus Boddaert.¹  ...  ¹ Cabanis listed two species, Cuculus sinensis Linnaeus and Psilorhinus flavirostris Blyth, and the type was subsequently designated as Cuculus sinensis by Gray (1855, Cat. Gen. Subgen. Birds, p. 63). However, according to Hartert (1921, Vög. pal. Fauna, p. 2027), Cuculus sinensis of Linnaeus is not identifiable and the correct type of Urocissa is "sinensis of authors" [= Corvus erythrorhynchus Boddaert]." (Vaurie in Peters 1962, XV, 240).
