DEFINITIONS
ARREMONOPS
(Passerellidae; Ϯ Olive Sparrow A. rufivirgatus) Genus Arremon Vieillot, 1816, sparrow; Gr. ωψ ōps, ωπος ōpos appearance; “(71.) GENUS ARREMONOPS RIDGWAY. ... 586. A. rufivirgata LAWR. Texas Sparrow. ... (71.) Page 434, GENUS ARREMONOPS. New genus: Type, Embernagra rufivirgata LAWR. The Mexican and Central American species usually referred to the genus Embernagra LESS. are so different in structural and other characters from the type of the latter (Emberiza platensis GMEL.) that only a moment's comparison is necessary to demonstrate their generic distinctness. The name chosen for the new genus is selected on account of the very close affinity of the birds in question to those of the genus Arremon VIEILL. (usually placed among the Tanagers). In fact, I have found it difficult to discover reasons for separating them generically from the latter.” (Ridgway 1896); "Arremonops Ridgway, Man. N. Amer. Bds., 2nd ed., pp. 434, 605, 1896—type, by orig. desig., Embernagra rufivirgata Lawrence." (Hellmayr, 1938, Cat. Birds Americas, Pt. XI, p. 439).

● “In view of the stability shown by Arremonops conirostris conirostris through a wide area, the appearance of this form so near the type-locality of that race is surprising and inexplicable” (Chapman 1914) (subsp. Arremonops conirostris).
● “It certainly was unexpected to find such a striking and hitherto unknown species on Guadalcanar, and this and the discovery of other new forms on the island shows that the ornithological exploration of Guadalcanar has hitherto been very imperfect” (Hartert 1929) (Guadalcanaria).
● “et necata inexpectatum nobis gaudium dedit novae speciei, ante nunquam visae” (Forster 1844) (Pterodroma).
● "Named both for the unexpected nature of its distribution, being restricted to two provinces of Ghana, and the fact that there are no obvious geographic barriers that separate it from two other members of the genus" (Voelker et al. 2016) (subsp. Stiphrornis erythrothorax).
● “On examining a large series of birdskins collected in the northern parts of Celebes and presented to the Leyden Museum by S. C. I. W. van Musschenbroek, Esq., I was quite astonished to find, that there exists in the Minahassa, beside Strix [= Tyto ] Rosenbergii, another large species of Barn-owl, very different as well from Strix Rosenbergii as from all the other known species” (Schlegel 1879) (Tyto).
