DEFINITIONS

CHLOROSPINGUS
(Passerellidae; Ϯ Common Bush-tanager C. flavopectus ophthalmicus) Gr. χλωρος khlōros  green; σπιγγος spingos a form of σπινος spinos, probably identical to σπιζα spiza a finch (< σπιζω spizō  to chirp) commonly eaten at Athens, and identified by most authors as the Chaffinch, but the names could just as well have applied to any small bird. In ornithology the epithets spingos and spiza used in combination are not confined to the finches (Fringillidae), but used indiscriminately for an assortment of finch-billed or finch-like birds (e.g. Ploceidae, Thraupidae, Emberizidae, Passerellidae, Cardinalidae, Drepanididae). The Common Bush-tanager, Chlorospingus or Bushfinch and its congeners were formerly treated as tanagers Thraupidae; "Gen. CHLOROSPINGUS nov. gen *)  Grün-Ruderfink.   719. 1.
