DEFINITIONS
UPUPA
(Upupidae; Ϯ Hoopoe U. epops) L. upupa hoopoe < Gr. εποψ epops, εποπος epopos hoopoe; "58. UPUPA. Rostrum arcuatum, convexum, subcompressum Lingua obtusa, integerrima, triquetra, brevissima." (Linnaeus 1758); "Upupa Linné, Syst. Nat., ed. 10, 1, 1758, p. 117. Type, by tautonymy, Upupa epops Linné (Upupa, prebinomial specific name in synonymy)." (Peters 1945, V, 247). Linnaeus's Upupa comprised four species (U. Epops, U. paradisea, U. Eremita, U. Pyrrhocorax). Since classicial times the Hoopoe’s name in many languages has been onomatopoeic of its distinctive and familiar call (e.g. Arabic Hudhud, Dutch Hop, French Huppe puput, Portuguese Poupa, Spanish Abubilla).
