DEFINITIONS
PROCNIAS
(Cotingidae; Ϯ Bearded Bellbird P. averano) Gr. myth. Prokne or Procne, who was metamorphosed into a swallow (see Progne); "GENUS 58. PROCNIAS Hoffmansegg (a Procne in hirundinem mutata) (Schnapper Germ.) Rostrum brevius, basi latissimum, dpressum, grypanium, dertro subadunco compresso, mandibulis triangularibus; tomiis maxillaribus versus basin utrinsecus dilatatis, versus apicem contractis, ibidem emarginatis. Myxa apice sursum inflexo. Furca admodum patens, gnathidis angustis. ... Species: Ampelis variegata, carunculata? Lin Gmel. Hirundo viridis Temminck Catalog. (at nostra avis, cum descriptione bene congruens, e Brasilia est.)" (Illiger 1811); "Procnias Illiger, 1811, Prodr. Syst. Mamm. Avium, p. 228. Type, by subsequent designation (G. R. Gray, 1840, List Genera Birds, p. 34), "P. variegatus (L.) Ill." = Ampelis variegata Gmelin = Ampelis Averano Hermann." (Snow in Peters 1979, VIII, 305). Illiger appears to have misidentified Temminck's bird.
Synon. Arapunga, Averano, Averanus, Calloprocnias, Casmarhinchos, Eulopogon, Vavasouria.
● (syn. Tersina Ϯ Swallow Tanager T. viridis) This name makes more sense when applied to the Swallow Tanager; “Moreover, the name Procnias clearly alludes to the swallow-like form of Tersa (which induced Temminck at that time to call it Hirundo viridis)” (Strickland 1841); "from its large Swallow-like gape and lengthened wings " (P. Sclater 1886).
Var. Procnia.
