DEFINITIONS

MYIOZETETES
(Tyrannidae; Ϯ Rusty-margined Flycatcher M. cayanensis) Gr. μυια muia, μυιας muias  fly; ζητητης zētētēs  searcher  < ζητεω zēteō  to seek; "Tyranneæ.  ...  *1392. Myiozeta, Schiff." (Bonaparte 1854); "Myiozetetes*   ...   *I so correct this name from "Myiozeta, Bp.," as given in Mr. G. R. Gray's List, p. 146. The name was published in Pr. Bonaparte's 'Conspectus Systematis Ornithologiæ' (Ann. des Sc. Nat. vol. iv. 1854) without indication of type; but from specimens in my own collection, marked in the Prince's own handwriting, I am enabled to state that this was intended to be Elainia cayennensis, Auct." (P. Sclater 1859); "Myiozetetes SCLATER, P. Z. S., 27, p. 46, 1859—type by orig. desig. "Elainia cayennensis" = Muscicapa cayanensis LINNAEUS.   ...   Myiozeta BONAPARTE 1854 is a nomen nudum." (Hellmayr 1927, 137).
Var. Myiozeta.

granadense / granadensis
New Granada, a former republic of South America variously incorporating Panama, Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador.  The name of Granada, the last bastion of the emirs of al-Andalus, was taken to the New World by the conquistadores (cf. New Spain, the original designation of Mexico).  In early ornithology “New Granada” and “Bogotá” were used to designate species of unknown provenance presumed to be from the Spanish Main (i.e. the Spanish-held Mainland), the hinterland of north-western tropical America.
