DEFINITIONS

CARPORNIS
(Cotingidae; Ϯ Black-headed Berryeater C. melanocephalus) Gr. καρπος karpos  fruit; ορνις ornis, ορνιθος ornithos  bird; "Generally, Black-headed Berryeater appears to take slightly larger fruits than C. cucullata  ...  and probably takes these more frequently in flight" (Kirwan & Green 2011); "CARPORNIS.   ...  These birds are found in the tropical forests of America, and their habits and manners are similar to those of the last genus [Cotinga.   ...  They feed on fruits and insects, and are thus compelled to migrate from place to place in search of their food]" (G. R. Gray 1846); "Carpornis G. R. Gray, 1846, Genera Birds, 1, p. 179. Type, by subsequent designation (G. R. Gray, 1855, Cat.
