DEFINITIONS
MINO
(Sturnidae; Ϯ Yellow-faced Myna M. dumontii) Hindi name Maina for starlings and mynahs; “Greater Minor” or “Mino” were names given to the Common Hill Mynah Gracula religiosa by Edwards 1743; "Sous-genre MINO, Mino, N. ... Le sous-genre que MM. L. et G. établissent en conservant l'ancien nom indien de Mino ou de Minor, donné par Edwards et par Marsden au Mainate, diffère du genre Mainatus par quelques caractères assez distincts. Il semble former le passage des genres Mainatus et Pastor par l'intermédiaire du Philedon goulin (Pastor musicus, Temm., ou Gracula calva), qui devra s'y rapporter très-probablement. ... Une seule espèce appartient encore à ce sous-genre: c'est le Mino de Dumont (Mino Dumontii, Less.) de la Nouvelle-Guinée." (Lesson 1827); "Mino Lesson, 1827, Bull. Sci. Nat. Geol, (Bull. Univer. Sci. Indus., sec. 2), 10, p. 158. Type, by monotypy, Mino dumontii Lesson." (Amadon in Peters 1962, XV, 115).
Var. Mina, Minor.
Synon. Eumathes, Melanopyrrhus.

• (Trochilidae; syn. Colibri † Green Violet-ear C. thalassinus cyanotus) "1537. Petasophora, Gr. — a. Anais, Reich. — b. Delphinella, Reich." (Bonaparte 1854 (nom. nud.)); "Anais "BP., 1854." (Ubi?)" (Coues 1880, Index Generum Trochilidarum). I cannot find this generic name in Reichenbach's works, although it does occur specifically in his Journal für Ornith., 1854, I, Extraheft, Aufzählung der Colibris, p. 15, referring to three separate forms since identified as Colibri coruscans and C. thalassinus cyanotus). G. Gray, 1855, Cat. Genera Subgenera Birds Brit. Mus., pp. 21, 139 (Appendix), treats ""Anais, Reichenb." Pr. B. 1854?," as a synonym of Praxilla with Trochilus cyanotis Bourcier as type.
• (unidentifiable: ?syn. Artamus) "Genre ANAÏS, Anais, Lesson. Ce genre, des plus curieux et des plus remarquables appartient à la famille des Ocyptères, et s'en distingue par des caractères précis. La seule espèce connue vit à Bornéo ... Anais Clemenciæ, Lesson" (Lesson 1840); "ARTAMINÆ, Pr. B. *977. ARTAMUS, Vieill. 1816. ... *981. ?ANAIS, Less. 1840. (Anais Clemenciæ, Less.)" (Gray 1855); "ANAIS, Lesson. A. clemenciæ, from Borneo, is the type; and I know nothing of the species; nor does Count Salvadori (Ucc. Born. p. 142), to whom the Marquis of Tweeddale suggests that it may be a manufactured bird" (Sharpe 1878).
