2. Chloropogon (syn. Chalcostigma Ϯ Rufous-capped Thornbill C. ruficeps) Gr. χλωρος khlōros green; πωγων pōgōn, πωγωνος pōgōnos beard. Diagnosis not yet seen (Simon 1918, Notice sur Les Travaux Scientifiques, 39).
3. Chlorostola (syn. Thalurania Ϯ Violet-capped Woodnymph T. glaucopis) Gr. χλωρος khlōros green; στολη stolē garment, robe < στελλω stellō to clothe. Diagnosis not yet seen (Simon 1918, Notice sur Les Travaux Scientifiques, 38).
4. Coeliola (syn. Coeligena Ϯ Bronzy Inca C. coeligena) Dim. < L. caelum heaven. Diagnosis not yet seen (Simon 1918, Notice sur Les Travaux Scientifiques, 39)
I have not seen these three yet but Charles Richmond reports that Simon in 1921 said that Chloropogon was preoccupied and he substituted Selatopogon .

I am pretty confused about the next name and what Simon did. I think he replaced Coeliola with Pseudocoeligena?

I assume that the Great War caused Notice sur Les Travaux Scientifiques to be so rare?
