DEFINITIONS

SALVADORINA
(Anatidae; Ϯ Salvadori's Duck S. waigiuensis) Adelardo Tommaso Conte Salvadori Paleotti (1835-1923) Italian ornithologist; "Salvadorina gen. nov. Anatidarum.  ...  General appearance singular, above black, barred with white. It seems difficult to state the nearest ally of this remarkable genus, but there is certainly no near ally among the few species of Anatidae known to inhabit New Guinea and the adjacent islands, and it resembles more some American genera. Its barred appearance reminds one of Nomonyx dominicus (Linn.) from Tropical America  ...  In the length of the tail the new genus resembles the South American Merganetta  ...  These likenesses, however, may be merely superficial, and it must be left to further investigations whether the genus Salvadorina should actually be placed near to these genera.  We take great pleasure in naming it after Count Tommaso Salvadori, as a remembrance of his great work on the birds of the Papuan region and on the Anatidae. This ornithologist, when he was shown the bird, at once recognised that our anticipation as to its being new was right. We choose to spell the name Salvadorina, because Salvadoria seemed too near to Salvadora and Salvatoria, both already existing names for genera in zoology, though not in ornithology.   Salvadorina waigiuensis sp. nov." (Rothschild & Hartert 1894); "Salvadorina Rothschild and Hartert, Nov. Zoöl., 1, 1894, p. 683. Type, by monotypy, Salvadorina waigiuensis Rothschild and Hartert." (Peters 1931, 1, 183).
Var. Salvdorina.
