DEFINITIONS
SPIZAETUS
(Accipitridae; Ϯ Ornate Hawk Eagle S. ornatus) Gr. σπιζιας spizias hawk < σπιζα spiza finch < σπιζω spizō to chirp; πιαζω piazō to seize; αετος aetos eagle; "20. SPIZAËTE, Spizaëtus. Falco, Gm. Lath. Bec grand, presque droit à la base, convexe en dessus. — Narines elliptiques. — Tarses alongés, nus, ou vêtus, un peu grêles. — Doigts courts; extérieurs unis à l'origine par une membrane. — Ongles pointus. 2 sections. Esp. Autour huppé, le Vaill. Oiseaux d'Afrique. — Aigle moucheté, Vieill. Oiseaux de l'Amérique sept. ... Spizaëtus [σπιζια, accipiter, αετος, aquila]." (Vieillot 1816); "Spizaëtus Vieillot, Analyse, 1816, p. 24. Type, by subsequent designation, Falco ornatus Daudin. (Gray, List Gen. Bds., 1840, p. 2.)" (Peters 1931, I, 248).
Var. Spizaetos, Spiziaetus.
Synon. Limnaetops, Limnaetus, Oroaetus, Phaeoaetus, Plumipeda, Pternura.
TYRANNUS
(Tyrannidae; Ϯ Eastern Kingbird T. tyrannus) Based on "Le Tyran. Tyrannus" of Brisson 1760: "Tandis que la femelle couve, le mâle chasse d'auprès de son nid tous les Oiseaux; même les Faucons & les Aigles." (see tyrannus ●); "NEUVIÈME ORDRE. Bec échancré. 24. PIE-GRIÈCHE. Lanius. ... 25.TYRAN. Tyrannus. {Le bec long, droit, et garni de soies à sa base. 26. GOBE-MOUCHE. Muscicapa. ... 27. MOUCHEROLLE. Muscivora" (de Lacépède 1799); "Tyrannus Lacepède, 1799, Tabl. Méth. Mamm. Ois., p. 5. Type, by tautonymy, Lanius tyrannus Linnaeus." (Traylor in Peters 1979, VIII, 221). The tyrants, pittas, broadbills and their allies form a very distinct group and should, perhaps, be separated from other passerines in a new order Subosciniformes.
Var. Tirannus, Tiranus, Tryannus.
Synon. Despotes, Dioctes, Drymonax, Laphyctes, Melittarchus, Milvulus, Muscivora, Myiocapta, Satellus, Semnarchus, Tolmarchus.
tyrannus
L. tyrannus tyrant < Gr. τυραννος turannos tyrant.
● ex “Tyran à queue fourchue” of Brisson 1760 (syn. Tyrannus savana).
● “The courage of this little bird is singular. He pursues and puts to flight all kinds of birds that come near his station, from the smallest to the largest, none escaping his fury” (Catesby 1731); "43. LANIUS. ... Tyrannus. 4. L. vertice nigro: stria longitudinali fulva. Muscicapa corona rubra. Catesb. car. I. p. 55. t. 55. Pica americana cristata. Frisch. av. 4. t. 62. Habitat in America septentrionali. Color obscure cinereus, abdomine albo." (Linnaeus 1758) (Tyrannus).
