DEFINITIONS

SPODIOPSAR
(Sturnidae; Ϯ Red-billed Starling S. sericeus) Gr. σποδιος spodios  ash-coloured  < σποδος spodos  ashes; ψαρ psar, ψαρος psaros  starling; "I regret to find that the name of "Poliopsar," which I proposed as a genus for the Indian and Chinese Starlings (Ibis, 1888, p. 476) is preoccupied by Cassin (Proc. Acad. Phil. 1867, p. 55). I propose therefore to change it to Spodiopsar, which will include the following species:— Spodiopsar cineraceus, S. colletti, S. sericeus, S. cambodianus, S. burmanicus, S. leucocephalus, S. andamanensis, S. erythropygius, S. malabaricus, S. nemoricola, and S. blythi." (Sharpe 1889).
Var. Opodiopsar.
Synon. Poliopsar.
