(Falconidae; Ϯ Mountain Caracara P. megalopterus) Late Gr. φαλκων phalkōn, φαλκωνος phalkōnos falcon; Gr. βαινω bainō to walk; "Like other caracaras it is almost fowl-like as it trips about the ground in search of food; it both scratches like a chicken and stamps to disturb insects like a Secretary Bird ... It would be difficult to imagine a raptorial bird with less falcon-like habits" (Brown & Amadon 1968); "[plate] PHALCOBŒNUS montanus Nob." (d'Orbigny 1834); "Sous-famille: Caracarides ... {Phalcobènes ... Si un animal mort au milieu de la campagne attire les caracarides, on verra le polyborus vulgaris, le chimachima, le chimango et le phalcobœnus montanus prendre part au festin, les trois premiers chacun dans les plaines, et le dernier sur les montagnes. ... PHALCOBÈNE 1, Phalcobœnus, Nob. ... Nous formons ce genre, afin d'y placer une espèce qui fait le passage des vulturidées aux falconidées et aux carácarás ordinaires, dont elle diffère, cependant, par des tarses réticulés et par des doigts proportionnellement bien plus longs. Cette espèce ne se perche jamais sur les arbres; ses pieds, analogues à ceux des cathartes, ne peuvent servir que très-imparfaitement à saisir une proie quelconque. ... PHALCOBÈNE MONTAGNARD, Phalcobœnus montanus, Nob. Oiseaux, pl. II, fig. 1, 2. ... Les Indiens Aymaras et Quichuas des Andes nomment cet oiseau, quand il est adulte, allcamari, et suamari, quand il est jeune. Les Espagnols le nomment dominico (dominicain), à cause des couleurs noire et blanche de son plumage. ... 1 De φαλκων, faucon, et de βαινω, je marche: Faucon marcheur."
