DEFINITIONS
FOULEHAIO
(Meliphagidae; Ϯ Polynesian Wattled Honeyeater F. carunculatus) Tongan names Foulehaio, Fuoulehaoi or Fulehau for the Polynesian Wattled Honeyeater (cf. Samoan name E-yow); “Foulehaio est le nom que cet oiseau porte à Tongotabo ou à Amsterdam, qui sont deux des îles des Amis” (Vieillot 1817); "Ab incolis appellatur Fureehee-òw" (Forster in Lichtenstein 1844); "XLIX. Foulehaio VIEILLOT ois. dor. II. 131. — Nat. Syst. d. Vög. sppl. Habitus und am Männchen das Kleid wie Ptilotis, von dem des Weibchen (wenn nicht Varietät, wie LATHAM glaubt, oder verschiedene Art?) abweichend, hier ochergelb gefärbt.

(Reichenbach 1852); "Foulehaio Reichenbach, 1852, Handb. spec. Orn., Icon. Synops. Avium, continuatio no. IX (Meropinae), 1, p. 110. Type, by monotypy, Philemon musicus Vieillot = Certhia carunculata Gmelin." (Salomonsen in Peters, 1967, XII, p. 392). I have suggested elsewhere that the substantive name Wattlebird be given to the birds of this genus.
