DEFINITIONS

CHENORHAMPHUS
(Maluridae; Ϯ Broad-billed Fairy Wren C. grayi) Gr. χην khēn, χηνος khēnos  goose; ῥαμφος rhamphos  bill; "the bill is moderately long, flattened and fairly broad" (Coates 1990); "Au premier abord, il ressemble un peu aux Todopsis et aux Macherirhynchus, mais il a le bec beaucoup plus élargi que les premiers, et moins dilaté, moins arrondi sur les côtés des derniers, dont il diffère d'ailleurs par la forme de ses narines, l'allongement de ses pattes et son système de coloration. Je me crois donc autorisé à créer en sa faveur une espèce et un genre particuliers, en le nommant Chenorhamphus cyanopectus." (Oustalet 1878); "Chenorhamphus Oustalet, 1878, Bull. Hebd. Assoc. Scientifique France, Paris, 21, p. 248. Type, by monotypy, Chenorhamphus cyanopectus Oustalet = Todopsis grayi Wallace" (Mayr in Peters, 1986, XI, p. 391).
Var. Chaenorhamphus.
Synon. Conopotheras.
