DEFINITIONS
SYNALLAXIS
(Furnariidae; Ϯ Rufous-capped Spinetail S. ruficapilla) Gr. συναλλαξις sunallaxis, συναλλαξεως sunallaxeōs exchange; perhaps given because Vieillot thought the two species may represent the two sexes of a single species, or an allusion to their characters warranting generic separation. Reichenbach 1853, complained that Synallaxis, of feminine gender, contained the Latin masculine noun axis axle, and wondered what scientists were to make of it!; "SYNALLAXE, Synallaxis. Bec grêle, entier, pointu; mandibule supérieure un peu arquée, l'inférieure droit; narines couvertes de plumes à leur base; ailes courtes, arrondies." (Vieillot 1818); "SYNALLAXE, Synallaxis. Genre de l'ordre des Oiseaux SYLVAINS et de la famille des GRIMPEREAUX ... La SYNALLAXE A QUEUE ROUSSE, Synallaxis ruficauda, Vieill., a été apportée du Brésil. ... La SYNALLAXE A TÊTE ROUSSE, Synallaxis ruficapilla, Vieill., se trouve au Brésil. ... Les différences qu'on remarque entre cet oiseau et le précédent, ne caractérisent-elles pas les sexes?" (Vieillot 1819); "Synallaxis Vieillot, Nouv. Sict. Hist. Nat., 24, 1818, p. 117. Generic characters only; species added op. cit., 32, 1819, p. 310. Type, by subsequent designation, Synallaxis ruficapilla Vieillot (G. R. Gray, List Gen. Bds., 1840, p. 17)." (Peters 1951, VII, 80).
Var. Synnalaxis, Synnallaxis, Synalaxis.
Synon. Anabates, Barnesia, Gyalophylax, Parulus, Poecilurus, Siptornopsis.

Tithys
(Muscicapidae; syn. Phoenicurus † Black Redstart P. ochruros gibraltariensis) Late Gr. τιτις titis, τιτιδος titidos small chirping bird mentioned by Photios (cf. specific name Motacilla titys Linnaeus, 1758); "Finden sich zwei Arten in einer und derselben Gegend nistend, wie z. B. unser Passer domesticus und montanus, unsere Ruticilla phoenicura und R. tithys (Tithys atrata, Gmel.), unser Parus ater (Andrornis) und Parus major L., so kann man mit Sicherheit annehmen, dass sie zwei verschiedenen Subgenera angehören." (Kaup in Röder 1877) (Laurent Raty in litt.); "Tithys Kaup in Röder, 1877, Grundriss Syst. Nat. Kaup, p. 123. Type, by tautonymy, Tithys atrata Gmel. = Ruticilla tithys auct. = Motacilla gibraltariensis Gmelin, 1789." (JAJ 2020).
