DEFINITIONS
ATALOTRICCUS
(Tyrannidae; Ϯ Pale-eyed Pygmy Tyrant A. pilaris) Gr. αταλος atalos delicate, tender; τρικκος trikkos unidentified small bird. In ornithology triccus signifies tyrant flycatcher; "Atalotriccus gen. nov. (Tyrannidæ.) Similar to Colopteryx Ridgway (ex Colopterus Cabanis, preoccupied), but head without crest, four, instead of three, outer primaries greatly reduced in size (the reduction excessive and the feathers very narrow and acuminate instead of normal in form), and bill much narrower. Type, Colopterus pilaris Cabanis = Atalotriccus pilaris. (Aταλος, tender, delicate; τρικκος, a small bird.)" (Ridgway 1905); "Atalotriccus RIDGWAY, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 18, p. 208, 1905—type by orig. desig. Colopterus pilaris CABANIS." (Hellmayr, 1927, Cat. Birds Americas, Pt. V, p. 335).
pilaris
● L. pilaris hairless (i.e. crestless) < pilare to deprive of hair < pilus hair; "Diese der vorhergehenden [Colopterus cristatus = Colopteryx galeatus] sehr ähnliche Art unterscheidet sich besonders durch den Mangel eines deutlichen Schopfes" (Cabanis 1847) (Atalotriccus).
● Mod. L. pilaris thrush; a confused coining from L. pilus hair, mistaking Gr. τριχας trikhas type of thrush, for θριξ thrix, τριχος trikhos hair (cf. pilaris of the ball < pila ball); "95.
