DEFINITIONS
PHYLLOSCOPUS
(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." (Boie 1826); "Phylloscopus Boie, 1826, Isis von Oken, col. 972. Type, by monotypy, Motacilla trochilus Linnaeus." (Watson in Peters 1986, XI, 221).

Sibilatrix
● (syn. Locustella Ϯ Grasshopper Warbler L. naevia) L. sibilatrix, sibilatricis female whistler < sibilator, sibilatoris whistler < sibilare to whistle < sibilus whistling; "GENUS VI. SIBILATRIX. CHIRPER. ... 1. Sibilatrix Locustella. Grasshopper Chirper. ... THE genus to which I give the name of Sibilatrix, or Chirper, is composed of a few species of birds having a very slender form, and remarkable especially for their hideling habits, and peculiar sibilous cry, which in one species has been compared to that of a Grasshopper or Mole Cricket. They differ from the species of the genus Calamoherpe in having the bill longer and more compressed, the tarsi and toes also more elongated, while the claws are shorter but more attenuated, and the tail larger and graduated" (Macgillivray 1839).
