DEFINITIONS

KUROCHKINEGRAMMA
(Nectariniidae; † Purple-naped Spiderhunter K. hypogrammicum nuchale) Portmanteau of surname Kurochkin (after Evgeniy N. Kurochkin (fl. 2005) Russian ornithologist, palaeontologist) and genus Hypogramma Reichenbach, 1853, sunbird. "Rand (1967: 222) used the generic name Hypogramma Reichenbach, 1853, for a distinctive Asian sunbird, now thought to be a spiderhunter (Moyle et al., 2011).  Kashin discovered prior use of this name in Lepidoptera by Guennée in 1852.  Investigation shows that the name is in use in Lepidoptera and so Kashin's substitute name Kurochkinegramma must be used, unless placed in the synonymy of Arachnothera Temminck, 1826.  ...  Kurochkinegramma Kashin, 1978, in, Sudilovskaya & Flint, [Research fauna Soviet Union. Birds and reptiles], p. 173.  nomen novum for Hypogramma Reichenbach, 1853, preoccupied by Hypogramma Guenneé, 1852 [Lepidoptera].  Type by monotypy Anthreptes nuchalis Blyth, 1843" (Gregory & Dickinson 2012).
Synon. Hypogramma.
