DEFINITIONS
XIPHOLENA
(Cotingidae; Ϯ Pompadour Cotinga X. punicea) Gr. ξιφος xiphos sword; λαινα laina mantle, cloak (cf. ωλενε ōlene lower arm); "Noch auffallender, theils wegen ihrer Federbildung, theils wegen großer Verschiedenheit nach Alter oder Jahreszeit, bleiben die beiden Pompadourvögel. (Xipholēna.) Bei ihnen erscheint, wenn nicht überhaupt im ausgefärbten Zustande, doch jedenfalls im hochzeitlichen Kleide, das gesammte kleine Gefieder merkwürdig hart, steif, glänzend und dabei zerschliffen, also unzusammenhängend" (Gloger 1841); "Xipholena Gloger, 1842, Gemeinnütz. Hand-und Hilfsb. Naturg., 1, p. 320. Type, by subsequent designation (G. R. Gray, 1855, Cat. Genera Subgenera Birds, p. 56), Ampelis pompadora Linnaeus = Turdus puniceus Pallas." (Snow in Peters 1979, VIII, 299).
