DEFINITIONS
OCHTHORNIS
(Tyrannidae; Ϯ Drab Water Tyrant O. littoralis) Gr. οχθος οχθος okhthos bank, mound; ορνις ornis, ορνιθος ornithos bird; "7. OCHTHORNIS*. Under this term I propose to separate a singular species which Herr v. Pelzeln has placed in Elainea, and I in Ochthœca. It is, however, I think most nearly allied to the last-named genus, from which it seems distinct in its much smoother rictus with scarcely any setæ, shorter wings, and shorter tail. In general coloration it is very similar to Sayornis pallida, but much smaller in size. It is found in Guiana and Amazonia. 1. Ochthornis littoralis. ... *Oχθος, bank, and ορνις, a bird." (P. Sclater 1888); "Ochthornis Sclater, 1888, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., 14, p. 31. Type, by monotypy, Elainea littoralis Pelzeln." (Traylor in Peters 1979, VIII, 152).
