DEFINITIONS

PHYLLERGATES
(Scotocercidae; Ϯ Mountain Tailorbird P. cucullatus) Gr. φυλλον phullon  leaf; εργατης ergatēs  worker  < εργαζομαι ergazomai  to work; "[Key] d". Bill very long and slender, rather flat, the culmen exceeding the length of the hind toe and claw  ...  Outermost tail-feather much longer, and falling short of the remainder by less than the length of the culmen; bill flatter and more equilateral for the whole of its length. . . .7. PHYLLERGATES" (Sharpe 1883); "Tailor-Bird. This bird is so called from the fact that it is in the habit of drawing together "one leaf or more, generally two leaves, on each side of the nest, and stitches them together with cotton, either woven by itself, or cotton thread picked up; and after putting the thread through the leaf, it makes a knot at the end to fix it" (Jerdon [1862-1864])" (Yule & Burnell 1903).
Var. Phyllobates ("This is obviously an error for Phyllergates; in a footnote to his genus Phyllobates. Oates acknowledged permission to use Sharpe's nomenclature from Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., 7. which appeared a few months later. Subsequently, Oates, 1889, Fauna Brit. India, Birds, 1, p. 439, used Phyllergates credited to Sharpe, 1883, as do later writers on Indian birds" (Watson in Peters, 1986, XI, 174)).
