DEFINITIONS
CARYOTHRAUSTES
(Cardinalidae; Ϯ Yellow-green Grosbeak C. canadensis) Gr. καρυον karuon nut; φραυστης thraustēs breaker, crusher < φραυω thrauō to break. Reichenbach's 1850, plate LXXVIII, labelled Passerinae: Pyrrhulinae Coccothraustinae, highlights the stout and powerful bill and the face-pattern of this grosbeak. "Caryothraustes Reichenbach, 1850, Av. Syst. Nat., pl. 78. Type, by subsequent designation (Sclater and Salvin, 1869, Exotic Ornith., p. 167), "Pitylus" [= Coccothraustes] viridis Vieillot = Loxia canadensis Linnaeus." (Paynter in Peters, 1970, XIII, p. 224). In describing Loxia canadensis with "Habitat in Canada" Linnaeus, 1766, or his printer, misquoted Brisson's 1760, "Coccothraustes Cayanensis ... Habitat in Cayana."
Synon. Periporphyrus, Rhodothraupis.
