DEFINITIONS

EUPHONIA
(Fringillidae; Ϯ White-vented Euphonia E. minuta) Gr. ευφωνια euphōnia  goodness of voice, excellence of tone, euphony  < ευφωνεω euphōneō  to have a good voice  < ευ eu  good; φωνη phōnē  voice; "Some [Tanagrinae] possess considerable vocal powers; and the notes of the subgenus Euphonia, as its name implies, are said to be particularly musical" (Swainson 1837); "LA seconde, ou celle des Tangaras Euphones, renferme les espèces dont la bec est court et assez semblable à celui des Manakins, dont les doigts sont divisés comme ceux des Tangaras, et dont les pates sont aussi longues que la queue.  Exemples: l'Organiste (T. musica), le Téité (T. violacea), le Tangara chlorotique (T. chlorotica), et le Nègre (T. cayennensis): ces oiseaux doivent former un genre particulier.  ...  EUPHONE ORGANISTE  Pipra musica. GMEL.  ...  Sa voix est très étendue et très variée; et ce qui est fort remarquable, c'est qu'elle est susceptible de prendre successivement tous les tons de l'octave en montant du grave à l'aigu. Cette particularité a fait donner à cet oiseau le nom qu'il porte, et même, dans quelques cantons de Saint-Domingue, celui de Musicien.  ...  27. [EUPHONE] olive. . . . .(Euphonia olivacea. NOB.)"
