● (syn. Phoenicurus Ϯ Black Redstart P. ochruros) Med. L. rubecula robin < dim. L. ruber red, ruddy; "Genus Rubecula; Robin. The robin-redbreast . . .R. familiaris The black redstart. . .R. tithys The common redstart . . .R. arborea ... The form of these birds is too well known to require a description: it is intermediate between the nightingales (Philomela) and the chats (Rubetra). It presents itself, however, under two slight modifications, which differ a little in their habits; one, exemplified in the common redstart of this country; the other, in the robin: their respective peculiarities are, however, united in the black redstart (R. tithys), which species may accordingly be selected as the standard of the genus Rubecula" (Blyth 1833).
