DEFINITIONS
CHLOROCHRYSA
(Thraupidae; Ϯ Orange-eared Tanager C. calliparaea) Gr. χλωρος khlōros green; χρυσος khrusos gold; "CALLISTE BOURCIERI, Bp. Splendide viridis, abdomine cœrulante, plumis omnibus basi latissime nigerrimis: vertice uropygioque fulvis: gula nigra , macula magna hinc inde fulvo-castanea. Une seconde nouvelle espèce portera le nom de CALLISTE PHOENICOTIS, Bp. Splendide viridissima, plumis basi obscure plumbeis; macula utrinque auriculari parva rubro-castanea: remigibus rectricibusque nigris: rostro exili, compresso. Ces deux oiseaux, par leur bec mince et comprimé, par leur couleur verte brillante, etc., peuvent constituer un petit genre à part, que nous nommerons CHLOROCHRYSA." (Bonaparte 1851); "Chlorochrysa, ou plutôt CALLIPARÆA, avec d'autant plus de justice que Tanagra calliparæa, Licht., qui ne diffère peut-être pas de notre bourcieri, en serait le type." (Bonaparte 1851); "Chlorochrysa Bonaparte, 1851, Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. Paris, 32, p. 76. Type, by subsequent designation (Bonaparte, 1851, Rev. Mag. Zool. [Paris], Ser. 2, 3, p. 129), Tanagra (= Callospiza) calliparaea Tschudi." (Storer in Peters, 1970, XIII, p. 357).
