DEFINITIONS
CINCLUS
(Cinclidae; † White-throated Dipper C. cinclus) Specific name Sturnus cinclus Linnaeus, 1758; the dippers are a small, distinctive group of passerines adapted to swimming and hunting under water; "XXIII. Gattung, Wasseramsel, Cinclus. ... 128) Cinclus hydrophilus, die gemeine Wasseramsel, schwarz mit weißer Brust. Linn. p. 803. nr. 5. Faun. suec. nr. 214. Sturnus Cinclus. Bechsteins Nat. Gesch.

Aber nirgends steht er am rechten Art, und nur in einer eigenen Gattung, wozu der Bau seines Körpers und Schnabels hinlängliche Kennzeichen darbieten, kann er eine angemessene Stelle finden." (Borkhausen 1797); "Wassenschwätzer. Cinclus ... Der Gestalt nach unter die Singvögel gehörig, der Nahrung und Lebensart nach aber sich den Sumpfvögeln und zwar den Strandläufen nähernd. Nähren sich von Wasserinsekten und nisten in Uferlöchern ... Sturnus Cinclus. Linn." (Bechstein 1802); "Cinclus Borkhausen, 1797, Deutsche Fauna, 1, p. 300. Type, by monotypy, Cinclus hydrophilus Borkhausen = Sturnus cinclus Linnaeus." (Greenway in Peters, 1960, IX, p. 374).
Var. Cinches.

• (Scolopacidae; syn. Arenaria † Ruddy Turnstone A. interpres) Gr. κιγκλος kinklos unidentified waterside bird; "CINCLUS, Mœhr. (1752). Strepsilas, Ill. (1811). Arenaria, Briss. (1760). Morinella, Meyer (1810). Tringa, L. C. morinellus, (L.) G. R. Gray. Pl. enl. 856. S. interpres, Ill. S. collaris, Temm." (G. Gray 1841); "Cinclus "Moehring" (not of Borkhausen, 1797, nor of Bechstein, 1802) Gray, List Gen. Subgen. Bds., 2nd ed., p. 85, 1841—type, by orig. desig., Tringa morinella Linnaeus [= Tringa interpres Linnaeus]." (Hellmayr and Conover, 1948, Cat. Birds Americas, Pt. I (3), p. 134); Gray has opened Pandora's box here; Moehring's "Cinclus", in so far as it is identifiable at all, is most probably the Dunlin, and certainly not the Turnstone.
• (Scolopacidae; syn. Calidris † Dunlin C. alpina) "HALVE SNEP, LOOPERTJE, in 't Lat. Cinclus.* [RAY. Syn. Av. p. 110]" (Moehring 1758); "L'ALOUETTE-DE-MER. ... CINCLUS" (Brisson 1760): ex "Cinclus" of Gessner 1555, "Schoeniclus" of Aldrovandus 1599-1603, "Junco" of Charleton 1668, "Ox-eye" of Ray 1713, and other references. The "Ox-eye" of Ray is certainly the Dunlin. Although historically Tringa Cinclus has been used for a variety of waders, Cinclus Bechstein, 1804: "Steinpicker ... Tringa Cinclus, alpina, islandica u.a.", also represents the Dunlin (OD per Björn Bergenholtz).
• (syn. ?) Rafinesque's first use of this name; perhaps a lapsus for Coloeus; "Sous-famille. CORACINIA. Coraces. Bec comprimé. G. 1. Coracias L. 2. Becardia R. 3. Gonotrimphus R. 4. Paradisea L. 5. Nemoderus R. L. 6. Caryocactes R. 7. Cinclus R. 8. Corvus L. 9. Kinkus R. 10. Corbivus R." (Rafinesque 1815).
• (syn. ?) Rafinesque's second use of this name; "2. Sous-famille. STURNIDIA. Les Sturniens. Bec allongé, non comprimé. 20. Glaucopis L. 21. Buphaga L. 22. Oriolus L. 23. Sturnus L. Quiscalis R. 24. Calleas R. 25. Icterus Daud. 26. Cacicus Daud. 27. Xanthornus R. 28. Cinclus R." (Rafinesque 1815).
cinclus
Gr. κιγκλος kinklos small tail-wagging waterside bird mentioned by Aristotle, Aristophanes, Aelianus and other authors, perhaps a wagtail or a sandpiper, but never properly identified. Variously treated by later authors as a wagtail, sandpiper, dipper, thrush or ouzel. In ornithology cinclus is associated with a great variety of unrelated thrush-like birds (e.g., the water ouzel or dipper), but rarely with the true thrushes.
