DEFINITIONS

PHLEGOPSIS
(Thamnophilidae; Ϯ Black-spotted Bare-eye P. nigromaculata) Gr. φλοξ phlox, φλογος phlogos  flame  < φλεγω phlegō  to flame; οψις opsis  countenance; Reichenbach's 1850, plate LVII, labelled Motacillinae: Troglodytinae & Menurinae, shows the bare 'spectacles' of this group of birds. "The last three birds have the space round the eyes more or less denuded, and would form the subgenus Phlegopsis, Reichb., of which, I believe, F. nigromaculatus is the type" (P. Sclater 1857); "Phlegopsis Reichenbach, Av. Syst. Nat., 1850, pl. 57. Type, by subsequent designation, Myothera nigro-maculata d'Orbigny and Lafresnaye (G. R. Gray, Cat. Gen. Subgen. Bds., 1855, p. 42)." (Peters 1951, VII, 253).

● "Upon the whole, it may be that the specimen before me represents an abnormal plumage of T. migratorius; but its rather different proportions, much paler ground color beneath, greater extent of white on the belly, absence of black or dusky on the head, etc., leads me to consider it as distinct" (S. Baird 1864) (Turdus).
