DEFINITIONS

MYIOTHLYPIS
(Parulidae; Ϯ Black-crested Warbler M. nigrocristata) Gr. μυια muia, μυιας muias  fly; θλυπις thlupis  unidentified small bird, perhaps some sort of finch or warbler. In ornithology thlypis signifies either a thin-billed tanager or, as in this case, a parulid warbler. "*659. Myiothlypis, Caban. 1850. (Trichas, p. Gr.)   America mer. 2.   1.

SUBSPECIES

Russet-crowned Warbler (regulus)
SCI Name: Myiothlypis coronata regulus
REGULUS
(Regulidae; Ϯ Goldcrest R. regulus) Specific name Motacilla regulus Linnaeus, 1758; "Roitelets . . . Regulus" (Cuvier 1800); "Dans la tradition nordique, le roitelet (le plus petit des oiseaux) est le druide des oiseaux. Ce term de petit roi n'est donc pas une moquerie, il correspond à une vieille tradition celtique. Le première mention de ce mot pour désigner un oiseau remonte au début du XII^e siècle" (Cabard & Chauvet 2003); "Regulus Cuvier, 1800, Leçons Anatomie Comparée, 1, table 2. Type, by monotypy and tautonymy, "Roitelets" = Motacilla regulus Linnaeus." (Watson in Peters 1986, XI, 286). This genus formerly included the reguline leaf-warblers Phylloscopus.
Var. Regillus (L. regillus  royal, regal  < regius  royal).
Synon. Calendula, Corthylio, Ocelletus, Orchilus, Regaliolus, Rex, Senator.
● (syn. Regulus Ϯ Ruby-crowned Kinglet R. calendula) "Regulus BARTRAM, Travels through Carolina, etc., 1791, p.—  ...  Type, Motacilla calendula LINNAEUS ²  (Present designation.)³   ...   ² Seven species of Regulus are enumerated by Bartram in 1791, but only one is technically available as type at this date. This is "R. cristatus alter vertice rubini coloris; the ruby crown wren. (G. Edwards.)", or Motacilla calendula Linnaeus. Edwards figured and described this species from a specimen sent to him by Bartram.   ...   ³ There appear to be excellent generic differences between Motacilla calendula and M. regulus, as long ago recognized by Cabanis, who, in 1853, proposed the name Corthylio for M. calendula. This genus has been recently revived by Mr. Miller (Auk, vol. 32, 1915, pp. 234-236), but from the above reference to Regulus it will be seen that Motacilla regulus is the species to be provided with a generic name." (Richmond 1917). 

Russet-crowned Warbler (elata)
SCI Name: Myiothlypis coronata elata
elata
L. elatus  elevated, raised up, exalted  < efferre  to lift up.
● "CALAO A CASQUE ÉLEVÉ.  BUCEROS ELATUS. TEMM.  ...  Le casque de notre nouvelle espèce est remarquable par son élévation à la partie antérieure, qui est coupée verticalement; son arête, en décrivant une faible courbure, s'incline vers le front, où elle prend la forme d'un large bourrelet.  Ce casque est lisse, à parois très-minces, surtout à sa partie supérieure; il est bombé sur les côtés, et cannelé longitudinalement de trois rainures profondes" (Temminck 1831) (Ceratogymna).
● "BASILEUTERUS CORONATUS ELATUS, new subspecies.  ...  Similar to Basileuterus coronatus coronatus  ...  black lateral crown-stripes narrower and less prominent, not meeting in front, while the orange rufous coronal part is correspondingly larger." (Todd 1929) (subsp. Myiothlypis coronata).
