DEFINITIONS

VULTUR
(Cathartidae; Ϯ Andean Condor V. gryphus) L. vultur, vulturis  vulture; "40. VULTUR.  Rostrum rectum, apice aduncum.  Caput impenne, antice nuda cute.  Lingua bifida." (Linnaeus 1758); "Vultur Linné, Syst. Nat., ed. 10, 1, p. 86. Type, by subsequent designation, Vultur gryphus Linné. (Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 24, 1907, p. 11.)¹   ...  ¹ In Science (N. S., 24, 1906, p. 775-776) J. A. Allen showed that the type of Vultur Linné should be V. gryphus, but also showed how that species might be the type of Sarcoramphus and Gryphus; the first valid designation appears to be that given above." (Peters 1931, I, 189). This genus is the first diagnosed in modern avian nomenclature. Linnaeus's Vultur comprised six species (V. Gryphus, V. Harpyja, V. Papa, V. Aura, V. barbatus, V. Perenopterus). The Andean Condor is the largest raptor, soaring effortlessly over the Andean chain.   
Var. Vulcur.   
Synon. Condor, Gryphus, Sarcoramphus.
● (syn. Aegypius Ϯ Eurasian Black Vulture A. monachus) (see Lophogyps).

gryphus
L. gryphus  griffin  < Gr. γρυψ grups, γρυπος grupos  griffin; “Quite wrongly certain scholars call the Vulture Gryps, confounding foolishly the Vulture and the Gryps, since the Gryps is a Gryphon, or an animal believed to be both winged and quadruped” (Turner 1544); "40. VULTUR.  ...  Gryphus.  1. V. maximus, caruncula verticali longitudine capitis.  Vultur Gryps Gryphus. Klein. av. 45.  Cuntur. Raj. av. 11.  Habitare fertur Chili.  Rara avis in terris; mihi ignota; videsis Kleinium." (Linnaeus 1758). This epithet is the first name and autochthonym in avian nomenclature (Vultur).

Gryphus
(Cathartidae; syn. Vultur † Andean Condor V. gryphus) Specific name Vultur gryphus Linnaeus, 1758; "Le condor, vultur gryphus des auteurs, semble seul faire exception par sa grande taille; mais plusieurs caractères véritablement génériques le distinguent, soit de tous les vautours proprement dits, soit du sarcoramphe, et il doit former un genre nouveau, genre que j'ai fait connaître dans mes cours sous les noms de Condor, gryphus." (I. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1841); "2. GRYPHUS, Is. Geoffr. -  2. cuntur, Dum. (condor, Less.)  - 3. californianus, Shaw" (Bonaparte 1854); "Gryphus I. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1841, Essais de Zoologie Générale, 367, footnote 1.  Type, by tautonymy, "Vultur gryphus des auteurs" = Vultur gryphus Linnaeus, 1758." (JAJ 2020).
