DEFINITIONS

PAROREOMYZA
(Fringillidae; Ϯ Oahu Alauahio P. maculata) Gr. παρ par  near; genus Oreomyza Stejneger, 1887, akikiki; "Table of Genera of Drepanididæ  ...  DIVISION II.  ...  12 (11). Nasal setæ or setiform feathers entirely absent, or at least very short and little developed, not able to shield the nasal openings. (Sexual coloration of adults markedly different.) . . . Paroreomyza *, subgen. nov.: type Oreomyza maculata.   ...   *Herein I place also the other three species with sexual dimorphism." (Perkins 1901).

flammea
L. flammeus  flammulated, flame-coloured, fiery-red  < flamma  flame  < flagrare  to burn.
● "98. FRINGILLA.  ...  flammea.  20. F. fusca, crista flammea. Faun. svec. 201.  Linaria s. Luteola nigra. Klein. av. 93.  Habitat in Europa." (Linnaeus 1758) (Acanthis).
● ex “Aluco minor” of Willughby 1676, “Noctua guttata” of Frisch 1733, and Linnaeus 1746. “The name “flammea” first appears in the 12^th edition of Linnaeus, and the description given by him certainly refers to the Barn-Owl and not to the Tawny Owl or Short-eared Owl, although the first reference - to no. 73 of the ‘Fauna Suecica’ - appears to refer to another bird, perhaps one of the two last-named. Linnaeus’s name Strix flammea is, however, invalidated by the use of the same name by Pontoppidan [1763] ...for the Short-eared Owl ...The Committee have decided that this is a case where the old and well-known name of “flammea” may well be conserved for the Barn-Owl and not transferred to the Short-eared Owl, as would be the case if the international rules of priority were followed out” (BOU 1915) (syn. Tyto alba).

Flammea
(Tytonidae; syn. Tyto † Common Barn Owl T. alba) Specific name Strix flammea Linnaeus, 1766 (= syn. Tyto alba); "EFFRAIE: Flammea.  ...  EFFRAIE COMMUNE: Flammea vulgaris.  Strix flammea. (Lin.)  L'EFFRAIE OU FRESAIE. (Buff.) Buff. Enl. pl. 440.  ...  C'est elle que le vulgaire regarde plus spécialement comme un oiseau de mauvais augure" (Fournel 1836) ("Effraie est en liaison avec orfraie (XVe siècle)  ...  Chez Belon, en 1555, on trouve fresaye, dérivé du latin praesago (prévoir, présager, avec la connotation de mauvais augure)" (Cabard & Chauvet 2003)); “Aluco is preoccupied by Aluco Link, 1807, for a genus of Mollusca, and Tyto by Tyta of the same author eight years earlier. We have therefore to fall back on Flammea here adopted.” (BOU 1915); "Flammea Fournel, Faune de la Moselle, p. 101, 1836.  Type (by monotypy): Flammea vulgaris = Strix alba Scopoli." (Mathews, 1927, Syst. Av. Austral., I, p. 278).
