DEFINITIONS

PHAENICOPHILUS
(Phaenicophilidae; Ϯ Black-crowned Palm Tanager P. palmarum) Gr. φοινιξ phoinix, φοινικος phoinikos  palm-tree; φιλος philos  lover; "The similarity of the specific names, however, induced some authors to unite the "Turdus palmarum" of Linnaeus with the Dulus palmarum of Vieillot, and the mistake was the more readily adopted, as both these birds are found in St. Domingo. A moment's glance, however, at the two birds (see their figures in Buff. Pl. Enl. 156, f. 2, and 539, f. 1.), will serve to show their completely generic distinctness.   ...  The "Turdus palmarum," Linn., though nearly allied to Arremon, differs in having a longer beak, and will therefore no doubt be regarded by modern systematists as generically distinct. I therefore propose for it the name of Phænicophilus, and the type will stand thus: —Phænicophilus palmarum (Linn.), Buff. Pl. Enl. Arremon palmarum, Gray. Dulus palmarum, Bon. (nec Viell.)  A second species, lately indicated by the Prince of Canino, is Phænicophilus poliocephalus (Bon.)" (Strickland 1851); "Phaenicophilus Strickland, 1851, in Jardine's Contrib. Ornith., 1, p. 104. Type, by subsequent designation (G. R. Gray, 1855, Cat. Genera Subgenera Birds, p. 74), Turdus palmarum Linnaeus." (Storer in Peters 1970, XIII, 277).
Var. Phoenicophilus.

POLIOCEPHALUS
(Podicipedidae; Ϯ Hoary-headed Grebe P. poliocephalus) Specific name Podiceps poliocephalus Jardine & Selby, 1827. "FAM. COLYMBIDÆ.   Genus Podiceps. LATH.  ...  Pod. (Poliocephalus, SELBY) (1) Nestor.  Australia.  ...  (1) Mr. Swainson gives to this group a generic value, but we doubt whether it is even entitled to a subgeneric rank." (Selby 1840); "Poliocephalus Selby, Cat. Gen. Subgen. Types Av., 1840, p. 47. Type, by monotypy and tautonymy, Podiceps poliocephalus Jardine and Selby." (Peters 1931, 1, 35) (see nestor).
Var. Poliocephelus.
Synon. Colymbetes, Dasyptilus.
