DEFINITIONS
CHARITOSPIZA
(Thraupidae; Ϯ Coal-crested Finch C. eucosma) Gr. χαρις kharis, χαριτος kharitos grace, beauty < χαιρω khairō to rejoice; σπιζα spiza finch < σπιζω spizō to chirp; "Doctor Charles W. Richmond has already shown that Tiaris Swainson [1827] belongs properly to Euetheia, but he failed to provide a name for the consequently nameless group of South American Fringillidae for which Tiaris has commonly been employed. This, therefore, may be called Charitospiza, from χαρις, gratia, and σπιζα, fringilla. The type and only species, Fringilla ornata Wied [1821], needs a new specific designation on account of the earlier Fringilla ornata Vieillot, and as it has no synonyms, may be known as Charitospiza eucosma Oberholser." (Oberholser 1905); "Charitospiza Oberholser, 1905, Smiths. Misc. Coll., 48 (1), p. 67. Type, by original designation, Fringilla ornata Wied (not of Vieillot, 1817) = Charitospiza eucosma Oberholser." (Paynter in Peters, 1970, XIII, p. 208).
Synon. Tiaris.
eucosma
Gr. ευκοσμος eukosmos decorous, well-adorned < ευ eu beautiful; κοσμος kosmos ornament, finery, decoration.
