DEFINITIONS
BUTEOGALLUS
(Accipitridae; Ϯ Rufous Crab Hawk B. aequinoctialis) Compound of genera Buteo de Lacépède, 1799, buzzard, and Gallus Brisson, 1766, fowl (e.g. turkey); the Rufous Crab Hawk, by reason of its bare face, short tail, small head, heavy body, and long reticulated legs, was considered to resemble the Turkey Vulture (cf. "Buteogallus anthracinus ... A black Buteonine Hawk with exceptional width of wing, long chicken-like yellow legs." (Peterson 1961)); "III.e Sous-genre. BUSON; Buteogallus. Bec long, d'abord droit, à bords renflés pour simuler une dent; mandibule inférieure échancrée au bout; face nue; narines ouvertes, petites, arrondies, dorsales; bec comprimé sur les côtés; ailes concaves, n'atteignant que le milieu de la queue; celle-ci rectiligne, courte; tarses assez longs, emplumés jusqu'au genou seulement, squameux en avant, réticulés sur les côtés et en arrière; tête petite, corps lourd et massif. BUSON CATHARTOÏDE; Buteogallus cathartoides. Falco buson, Lath., Shaw; le Buson, Levaill., Afriq., pl. 21; Caracara buson, Vieill., Encycl., t. III, p. 1182. ... Le buson habite la Guiane (Mus. de Paris; M. Leblond), et le Paraguay, suivant d'Azara, qui le nomme gavilan de estero rozo obscuro." (Lesson 1830); "Buteogallus Lesson, Traité d'Orn., livr. 2, 1830, p. 83. Type, by monotypy, Buteogallus cathartoides Lesson = Falco æquinoctialis Gmelin." (Peters, 1931, I, p. 244).

urubitinga
Tupí name Urubú tinga big black bird, for a raptor.
● ex “Aquila Brasiliensis” of Brisson 1760, “Aigle du Brésil” of de Buffon 1770-1783 (ex “Urubitinga” of Marcgrave 1648), and “Brasilian Eagle” of Latham 1781 (Buteogallus).
Urubitinga
(syn. Buteogallus Ϯ Great Black Hawk B. urubitinga) Based on "Urubitinga" of Marcgrave 1648 and Cuvier 1800 < Tupí name Urubú tinga big black bird, for a raptor (cf. specific name Falco urubitinga J. Gmelin, 1788); "L'Aigle-Autour Urubitinga de Cuvier nous paraît, d'après ses formes, et surtout d'aprè ses mœurs lâches et reptilivores, comme celles des Buses de marais d'Amérique, ne pouvoir rester avec les Aigles-Autours, espèces de grands Autours à tarses emplumés, et doués du courage particulier aux Autours et Éperviers; il n'en a même ni les ailes courtes ni la longue queue. Nous le placerons donc sous le nom générique d'Urubitinga, que lui a donné M. Lesson, dans notre sous-famille des Butéoninées." (de La Fresnaye 1842); "Urubitinga Lafresnaye,2 Dict. Univ. Hist. Nat., 2, p. 786, 1842—type, by monotypy, "L'Aigle-Autour Urubitinga" Cuvier = Falco urubitinga Gmelin. ... 2 We do not think that the quoting by Gray (List Gen. Bds., p. 2, 1840) of an alleged Urubitinga—used by Lesson only as a French vernacular name—in the synonymy of Morphnus precludes its further employment under the Rules." (Hellmayr & Conover, 1949, XIII, 181) (see Morphnus). Var. Urubitingua, Urubutinga, Orubitinga.
