DEFINITIONS

CAMPICOLOIDES
(Muscicapidae; Buff-streaked Chat C. bifasciatus) Genus Campicola Swainson, 1827, wheatear; Gr. -οιδης -oidēs  resembling; from its appearance and behaviour the Buff-streaked Chat has been variously treated in the past as a wheatear Oenanthe and as a chat Saxicola; "Thamnolaea bifasciata is far removed from T. cinnamomeiventris (the genotype) and is probably more closely related to Campicola; but as its affinity is obscure, I propose to place it in a new genus bearing the name of  CAMPICOLOIDES." (A. Roberts 1922); "Campicoloides A. Roberts, 1922, Annals Transvaal Mus., VIII (4), p. 229.  Type, by monotypy, Thamnolaea bifasciata, i.e. Saxicola bifasciata Temminck, 1829." (JAJ 2020).
