    Ok But regarding the names of Brisson, they cannot be rejected and I don't know if each of his names is a special case. We should have invented the principle of Brissonian tautonymy, instead of tautonymy. It's all really complicated and I was never really interested in all aspects of the Code

    Didn't we talk about a similar case some time ago? I don't know if it was with Myiophila

    Give me a valid genus name created by Brisson which contains a type species in his work? I don't think I know any of them

    Because we must based on this description (below) and not that of the supplement which are species that he added in his genus Gobemouche https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/111092#page/503/mode/1up

    Was one species among these four chosen as the type species?

    Each study gives different results. When you don't know anything about it, it's difficult to know which relationship gives the strongest support

    April 2024 April 5 Bird Orders I'm adopting the new Stiller et al. (2024) phylogeny of the bird orders. I had been planning to switch to Kuhl et al. (2021), but changed my mind after Stiller et al. appeared. Both seem to have broken though the polytomy that had left the modern avian tree of life...

    I had considered 4 species of Butorides (striata, sundevalli, virescens, atricapilla) with a monotypic striata and the other subspecies united in atricapilla

    The first species cited by Brisson in the uninomial name Sula is "Le Fou" (proprement dit) based on the description of Catesby, which looks very similar to Sula dactylatra, described some pages below (si je ne me trompe pas) under the name "Le Fou brun" Sula fusca. So I wondered if Brisson did...

    What surprises me is that Linnaeus himself did not think of creating the name Muscicapa even though it is the most basic Latin name. At first glance, he did not describe any "Muscicapa" species in his Systema Naturae.

    What should be done in these cases, what designation should be accepted?

    That said, it's a matter of common sense, Bassan, bassanus, unless to be completely dumb. But the problem is that this would risk creating great instability since the current classification is well established.

    But "Fou de Bassan" is an explicit name despite its French origin.

    If, or when, Boyd adds the new genus Pinarostola, he will also add the genus Leucoptilon described in 2021 for "Cyornis" concretus (now Leucoptilon concretum) because overlooked.

    First, I'm even more extreme because I isolate capensis in Pseudocarbo, neglectus in Anacarbo and reunite featherstoni, fuscescens, fuscicollis, nigrogularis, punctatus, sulcirostris and varius in the genus Hypoleucus in the absence of a name for nigrogularis (otherwise Hypoleucus = varius &...
