DEFINITIONS
Tijuca
(syn. Lipaugus Ϯ Black-and-gold Cotinga L. ater) Marcgrave 1648, gave Tijeguacú as a Tupí name for a type of manakin or cotinga, and de Buffon 1770-1783, wrote that Tijé is a Tupí generic term (Tupí Tié finch, used in combination for various tanagers) and used “Tijé” for the Blue-backed Manakin. “Derivations of Indian names, as this is, are often uncertain. There are two possibilities: (1) tî = bill, yúb = yellow ... etymologically doubtful [but Tijú is so listed by Garcia 1929]; (2) tijuca = swamp, a word used in some Brazilian place names but not apt for a bird of montane forest” (Snow 1982); "TIJUCA NOIR, Tijuca atra, Lesson. Genre nouveau d'oiseau dont l'espèce type est de la taille d'un merle auquel elle ressemble beaucoup par son facies et son plumage noir profond. Le Tijuca a les ailes noires et un large miroir d'un beau jaune sur leur partie moyenne; le bec et les tarses jaunes. Son bec fortement denté le rapproche des pie-grièches; sa base et ses commissures lui donnent quelqu'analogie avec les chocards. Le Tijuca noir vient de l'intérieur du Brésil." (de Férussac 1829); "Tijuca Férussac, 1829, Bull. Sci. Nat., 19, p. 324. Type, by monotypy, Tijuca atra Lesson [= Férussac]." (Snow in Peters 1979, VIII, 284). Var. Tyuca.
