DEFINITIONS

FOULEHAIO
(Meliphagidae; Ϯ Polynesian Wattled Honeyeater F. carunculatus) Tongan names Foulehaio, Fuoulehaoi or Fulehau for the Polynesian Wattled Honeyeater (cf. Samoan name E-yow); “Foulehaio est le nom que cet oiseau porte à Tongotabo ou à Amsterdam, qui sont deux des îles des Amis” (Vieillot 1817); "Ab incolis appellatur Fureehee-òw" (Forster in Lichtenstein 1844); "XLIX. Foulehaio VIEILLOT ois. dor. II. 131. — Nat. Syst. d. Vög. sppl.  Habitus und am Männchen das Kleid wie Ptilotis, von dem des Weibchen (wenn nicht Varietät, wie LATHAM glaubt, oder verschiedene Art?) abweichend, hier ochergelb gefärbt.

(Salomonsen in Peters, 1967, XII, p. 392).  I have suggested elsewhere that the substantive name Wattlebird be given to the birds of this genus.  
Var. Foulehajo.
