fringilloides
L. fringilla finch; Gr. -οιδης -oidēs resembling.
● Specific name Accipiter fringillarius Eyton, 1836 (= syn. Accipiter nisus); Gr. -οιδης -oidēs resembling; "2. ACCIPITER FRINGILLOIDES. Acc. supra cinereo-griseus, subtus albus brunnescente-fusco graciliter fasciatus, rectricibus fasciis quinque saturate fuscis. ... I find no description in any author which exactly corresponds with this delicate Sparrow Hawk. ... Our bird is a genuine Accipiter, and typical in the group." (Vigors 1827) (subsp. Accipiter striatus).
● "5. TACHYPHONUS fringilloides. Sp. Nov. T. supra cinereus, infra albens, cristæ coccineæ, marginibus lateralibus nigris; rostro brevi, conico. ... In the shortness and compression of the bill it agrees with T. rubescens; but the tail, which in that bird is nearly, if not quite, even, in this is more rounded; the feathers likewise are broader. The margins of the bill are inflexed, but not sinuated; and the acute angle, which constitutes a very prominent character in the Fringillæ, is wholly wanting in both these birds." (Swainson 1825) (syn. Coryphospingus pileatus).
● "70. MONTIFRINGILLA FRINGILLOIDES (Boie) (nivalis, auctt.). Fringilla nivalis, Severtzoff, p. 64." (Dresser 1875) (syn. Montifringilla nivalis alpicola).
● "TISSERIN. PLOCUS [sic]. Cuvier. T. FRINGILLOÏDE. P. fringilloides. Lafresnaye. Nous avons cru devoir donner à cette nouvelle espèce de Tisserin le nom de Fringilloïde, parce que, si d'un côté la forme robuste et longicône de son bec la place évidemment dans les Tisserins, d'autre part la couleur de son plumage, entièrement conforme à celle de plusieurs espèces de Gros-Becs ou Fringilles de l'Inde, sa patrie, et distincte de celles de toutes les espèces de Tisserins connus jusqu'alors ... Le nom de Tisserin ou Tisserand semble ne devoir appartenir qu'à certains Conirostres, voisins de nos moineaux, qui ont l'habitude de tisser leurs nids avec plus ou moins d'art, en entrelaçant des brins d'herbe sèche." (de La Fresnaye 1835) (Spermestes).
● "8. Oryzoborus fringilloides Pelzeln. N. 1037 (754) n. sp.? Fringilla sp. Natterer Catal. msc. ... Oryzoborus? fringilloides Pelzeln. N. 1037 (754). Femina. Cinnamomeo brunnea, gula, medio pectoris inferioris et abdominis rufescente albis, rostro illi O. unicoloris simili elongato fringillaceo, et pedibus obscure cinereis. ... Fringilla sp. Natterer Catal. msc. Hab. Rio Xiè." (von Pelzeln 1870) (Sporophila).
Fringilloides
(Emberizidae; syn. Emberiza † Black-headed Bunting E. melanocephala) Genus Fringilla Linnaeus, 1758, finch; Gr. -οιδης -oidēs resembling; "a very peculiar group of buntings, which I, for their long, large, conical beak, resembling the beak of finches (Fringillidae), suggest the name Fringilloides gen. nov. (type: Emberiza melanocephala)" (Buturlin 1910) (transl. and OD per Laurent Raty); "Fringilloides Buturlin, 1910, Nasha Okhota, 4 (1), p. 119. Type, by original designation, Emberiza melanocephala Scopoli, 1769." (JAJ 2021).
