    "diagnosis not seen" for genus names in the Key A through S

    The Collins-Day expedition of 1914-15 (unlike the Roraima expedition of 1927) was effectively co-led by Collins and Day. The dedication of Capito dayi Cherrie 1916 (here) reads: See also here: Day's own relation of the expedition can be read in: Day LG. 1916. South American trails. Am. Mus...

    "diagnosis not seen" for genus names in the Key A through S

    The bird described here in details and shown on the plate is his Carpospiza longipennis. He says he initially thought the specimens were female Fringilla simplex (now Passer simplex, Desert Sparrow), but after a closer look he realized they were not. C. brevipennis is briefly introduced in the...

    Thanks Mark. A simple portmanteau of Carpodacus and Corospiza, then ?

    "diagnosis not seen" for genus names in the Key A through S

    Thanks, Mark. For Vaurie, I just wanted to keep a trace of him having claimed a preoccupation by Przewalskium Flerov, which is not real, albeit the name is preoccupied nonetheless by a still earlier homonym. In 1961, he just wrote that the name was preoccupied without giving details. (It's not...

    "diagnosis not seen" for genus names in the Key A through S

    Kozlova 1946 was apparently published both in Russian and in English. The 2012 paper in Mark's last link is a reprint/re-edition of the Russian text; it can be found on several places on the Web; I don't find scans of the original Russian version online, though. The English text can be seen...

    "diagnosis not seen" for genus names in the Key A through S

    This note is made of a Latin, followed by a Portuguese text, which convey about the same information. (The Portuguese text is just a bit longer.) Each text includes a description of the genus, followed by a description of the single included species. Here is the Portuguese generic diagnosis...

    Björn, It works for me, so I don't know. Perhaps try right-clicking the link and saving the file on your disk before opening it? I have attached p.207 in pdf format.

    "diagnosis not seen" for genus names in the Key A through S

    Now [here]. But -- as was to be expected, I guess -- there is no real diagnosis: just a statement that Pyrgilauda Bonaparte in the family of larks preoccupies Pyrgilauda Verreaux, followed by the introduction of the nom. nov., and a statement that the species are to be called Stepaniana...

    "diagnosis not seen" for genus names in the Key A through S

    I transcribed the Macronus text earlier - [here]. (I did not find a way into the Oreopholus text.) In the text, both the generic and the specific names of Macronus/-ous ptilosus are said to relate to the bird having "a series of plumes which spring from the centre of the back, and from the...

    From https://books.google.com/books?id=Bc1FAAAAYAAJ&q=%22Descriptions+of+Three%22&redir_esc=y (Obviously the three names should be from the same year. Richmond and Neave both agree with Hachisuka about 1928.)

    more on Hersepis In Ibis, 78: 838, it is said: I strongly suspect this name will not be available under the current rules. In any case, if really "tucked away in the synonymy of Hypurolepis javanica" (NB: not tahitica...[?]), it seems reasonably likely that it will: - Not have been used as...

    "diagnosis not seen" for genus names in the Key A through S

    Pseudocolopteryx The scan is indeed viewable from the US on Hathi (but not on Google). This seems to be a separately paged reprint (page numbers do not match what is reported in nomenclators). The complete text on p.15 (probably p.48 in the original journal version) is: (The name is also...

    Lugensa Mathews [pdf here]. (...really not much more than what can be seen in the snippet, though.) (But, should this name really be a syn. of Aphrodroma...? Aphrodroma was proposed by Olson ([here]) on the premise that Procellaria lugens Kuhl, and therefore Lugensa Mathews (the type of which...

    "diagnosis not seen" for genus names in the Key A through S

    Annamormis doesn't really 'convince' me either, actually... I mean, I just can't guess what this spelling might be intended to mean, if (etymologically) correct. The other two names are clearly of Greek derivation. (My guesses would be a bit different from what the Key currently proposes --...

    The Pan American Studies paper was announced in Ibis 121 (1979): 154, as: Thus this would indeed seem to be the thing we are looking for. Note Annamormis, not Annamornus as reported by Cleere 2010 [here]. Same spelling (and source) in the 53rd supplement to the AOU check-list (2012) [here] (in...

    "diagnosis not seen" for genus names in the Key A through S

    I can't really help much. ;) The names on p. 107 are used in a plural form. A genus-group name should in principle be singular, and names proposed in the plural (in particular when interpolated between a generic and a specific name) are generally not regarded as available. (OTOH, it was rather...

    "diagnosis not seen" for genus names in the Key A through S

    Just for clarity: the footnote with the new name proposal, here, is the only thing actually authored by Stresemann. The main text (Johann Büttikofer's obituary) was authored by Ernst Schwarz; Stresemann (the editor of the journal) merely seized the opportunity offered by Schwarz's citation of...
