Etymology.—In conceiving, creating and editing the incomparable and immense Handbook of the birds of the world (1992‒2013) Josep del Hoyo made one of the greatest contributions to world ornithology of any single human being, and ignited new interest in the discrimination of subspecies simply by assiduously illustrating so many of them and, after vol. 2, requiring each to be given a thumbnail diagnosis. We name this new taxon for him in tribute and gratitude.
