(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."
