DEFINITIONS

HABIA
(Cardinalidae; † Red-crowned Ant-tanager H. rubica) Güaraní name Habia for various thrushes, finches and tanagers ("LAS HABÍAS.  Así llaman en el Paragüay á mis dos Zorzales, y á los quatro primeros páxaros de esta familia." (de Azara 1802)).  The ant-tanagers, also known as habias or ant-cardinals, were formerly included with the tanagers Thraupidae; "HABIA, Saltator, Vieillot  ...  Le nom habia, que j'ai appliqué à ce genre, est celui que quatre espèces de cette division portent au Paraguay, et que M. de Azara leur a imposé particulièrement" (Vieillot 1817); "THE FINCH-TANAGERS (Habia, Vieillot) — Have a thick, bulging, conical bill, as broad as high, the upper mandible of which is rounded above.  Such are Tan. flammiceps, Pr. Max., T. superciliosa, psittacina, and atricollis, Spix, &c." (Blyth 1840); "Habia Blyth, 1840, in Cuvier's Animal Kingdom, p. 184 [reference not verified].  Type, by subsequent designation (Oberholser, 1922, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 35, p. 80), Tanagra flammiceps Temminck (ex Wied MS) = Staltator [sic] rubicus Vieillot." (Storer in Peters, 1970, XIII, p. 295).

● "LA BÉCARDE HABIA.   Psaris habia, Less.; Tangara double croissant, Less., Ornith., esp. 53, pag. 464.   Au premier aspect cet oiseau a les caractères généraux des tangaras de la section des saltator, et cependant, lorsqu'on l'examine avec soin, il possède les formes corporelles des bécardes; il en a surtout le bec et la disposition des couleurs du plumage.  ...  Le plumage de cet oiseau est remarquable par l'harmonie des trois couleurs qui lui sont propres." (Lesson 1831) (syn. Lamprospiza melanoleuca ♀).

fuscicauda
