DEFINITIONS

HEMIMACRONYX
(Motacillidae; Ϯ Yellow-breasted Pipit H. chloris) Gr. ἡμι- hēmi-  small  < ἡμισυς hēmisus  half; genus Macronyx Swainson, 1827, longclaw; "Still another genus remains to be dealt with, namely, HEMIMACRONYX gen. nov., type Anthus chloris Sund., which is characterised by its yellow breast and slender toes and claws, which are long and, in common with the colour, remind one of the Yellow Wagtails. It has little in common with the other plainer coloured Pipits and would seem to be allied to Tmetothylacus, which differs in having the lower part of the tibia not feathered, and is a link between the Pipits and the Longclaws (Macronyx)." (A. Roberts 1922); "Hemimacronyx A. Roberts, 1922, Annals Transvaal Mus., VIII (4), p. 258.  Type, by original designation, Anthus chloris Sund., i.e. Lichtenstein, 1842." (JAJ 2020).
