DEFINITIONS
VIREO
(Vireonidae; Ϯ White-eyed Vireo V. griseus) L. vireo, vireonis small green migratory bird, perhaps the female Golden Oriole Oriolus, but also identified with the Greenfinch Chloris (cf. vireo I am green < virere to be green); "VIRÉONS. CARACTÈRES. Bec droit, garni de quelques poils divergens à ses angles, comprimé latéralement, entaillé sur les bords de sa partie supérieure, et crochu à sa pointe; mandibule inférieure rétrécie sur les côtés, vers le bout, un peu recourbée en haut à son extrémité, et arrondie en dessous; narines rondes et situées près du front; langue cartilagineuse et terminée par trois ou quatre filets courts et roides; la seconde penne de l'aile la plus longue de toutes; trois doigts devant, un derrière, l'intermédiaire soudé avec l'externe à son origine et totalement séparé de l'interne. LE VIRÉON MUSICIEN, Vireo musicus. ... Muscicapa noveboracensis, LINN. GM. Hanging Flycatcher, LATH. LES trois espèces que j'ai réunies sous cette nouvelle dénomination générique, ont été placées mal à propos dans divers genres, puisqu'elles n'en ont point les caractères principaux. .... C'est de cette position du nid, ainsi que de la couleur dominante et de la taille de cet oiseau que les Américains ont tiré la longue dénomination Small Green Hanging Bird, petit oiseau à nid pendant, qu'ils lui ont imposée. ... LE VIRÉON VERDATRE, Vireo virescens. ... LE VIRÉON A FRONT JAUNE, Vireo flavifrons. " (Vieillot 1808); "Vireo Vieillot, 1808, Hist. Nat. Ois. Amér. Sept., 1 (1807), p. 83. Type, by subsequent designation (Gadow, 1883, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., 8, p. 292), Vireo musicus Vieillot = Muscicapa noveboracensis Gmelin = Tanagra grisea Boddaert."

dissors
L. dissors, dissortis not shared, of a different fate, separate, apart.
• "Myrmothera campanisona dissors, new subspecies TYPE from the Río Cassiquiare, Venezuela, right bank, opposite El Merey. ... There is some variation among the adults, but the combination of characters is not duplicated in any of the other known forms."(Zimmer 1934) (subsp. Myrmothera campanisona).
• "Mr. James L. Peters has kindly called to my attention a more serious error in an earlier paper in which I made use of a pre-occupied name for a new form of Ochthoeca. Since I discussed the earlier form, though of a different species, in the same paper, my error is inexcusable. The necessary correction is as follows. Ochthoeca leucophrys dissors, new name for Ochthoeca leucophrys cajamarcae ZIMMER, 1937, Amer. Mus. Novit., No. 930, p. 11 (not Ochthoeca diadema cajamarcae CARRIKER, 1934)." (Zimmer 1940) (subsp. Ochthoeca leucophrys).
• "Synallaxis rutilans dissors, new subspecies TYPE from Campos Salles, Manaos, Brazil. ... Similar to S. r. amazonica from the south bank of the middle and upper Amazon, but general tone of rufescence averaging lighter, without the trace of olive on the occiput usually present in amazonica" (Zimmer 1935) (subsp. Synallaxis rutilans).
• "Tolmomyias flaviventris dissors, new subspecies TYPE from Faro, Rio Jamundá, Brazil. ... The most curious fact in connection with the present form is the apparent inclusion in it of the birds from the foot of Mt. Duida, Venezuela, but the Duida birds appear to be indistinguishable from it." (Zimmer 1939) (subsp. Tolmomyias flaviventris).
• "Vireo gilvus dissors, new subspecies TYPE from Cerro Munchique, west of Popayan, Colombia; altitude 7000 feet. ... Differs from V. g. leucophrys of eastern Colombia by slightly darker cap of a more grayish, less warmly hued, brown; back distinctly greener, less brownish olive; under parts not distinctive." (Zimmer 1941) (subsp. Vireo leucophrys).
