DEFINITIONS

BASILEUTERUS
(Parulidae; Ϯ Golden-crowned Warbler B. auricapilla) Gr. βασιλευτερος basileuteros  more kingly  < comp. βασιλευς basileus  king; the latter applied by Aristotle to a small bird usually identified as the Wren Troglodytes, but also conjectured to be the Goldcrest Regulus; "Basileuterus **) Cab. nov. gen.  Unterscheiden sich von Myiodioctes (!) Audub. vorzüglich durch an der Basis breiteren Schnabel und weniger zugespitzte Flügel.  Die Färbung ist in der Regel grünlich und gelblich; die Haube gewöhnlich durch eine Farbenkrone, welche an die Gattung Regulus erinnert, geziert.  Die Arten der Gattung sind grösser, als die der Gattung Regulus.    7.

No. 4.   HARTLAUB führt diesen Vogel in seinem Systematischen Index zu Azara als Helinaea vermivora (Lath.) Audub. auf.  Letztere Art kommt indess nicht in Süd-amerika vor, und ist mit dem Contramaestre coronado des Azara durchaus nicht zu verwechseln.   ...   **) Bασιλευτερος von βασιλευς — Regulus."
