BUCCANODON
(Lybiidae; † Yellow-spotted Barbet B. duchaillui) Genus Bucco Temminck, 1820, barbet (see Bucco); Gr. ανοδων anodōn toothless < negative prefix αν- an- ; οδους odous, οδοντος odontos tooth; "Barbatula formosa. ... Par son ensemble, cette espéce se rapprocherait du Laimodon niger; mais son bec sans dentelure le rapporte plûtot aux vrais Barbatula. Nous avions même songé à en faire un genre que nous n'adoptons pas à cause des rapports intimes qu'elle a avec ces derniers" (J. & E. Verreaux 1855); "1532 a. BUCCANODON, Verr. 1855. (Buccanodon formosus, Verr.)" (G. Gray 1855 (reprint 1929)) (Martin Schneider in litt.); "a. Buccanodon. Verr. 511. Duchallui, Cass. ... Syn. Barbatula Duchallui, Cassin Proc. Acad.

Zool. 1855, p. 218, but the last-named did not mention the generic name in their paper." (W. Sclater, 1930, Syst. Av. Aethiop., II, Appendix, p. 859); "Buccanodon Hartlaub, Syst. Orn.
