DEFINITIONS
THLYPOPSIS
(Thraupidae; Ϯ Orange-headed Tanager T. sordida) Gr. θλυπις thlupis unknown small bird, perhaps a finch or a warbler; οψις opsis appearance. In ornithology thlypis signifies either a parulid warbler or, as in this case, a warbler-billed tanager; "Gen. THLYPOPSIS n. gen. *) Wald-Ruderfink. 715. 1. Th. fulvescens Nob. — Nemosia fulvescens Strickl. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 1844. p. 420. — Tanagra icterocephala Langsdorf. (Mercat.) 716. 2. Th. fulviceps n. sp. .... *) Von θλυπις, nom. prop. (Sylvicolinarum) und οψις, Aussehen. — Die natürliche Stellung der Gattung erregt einigen Zweifel, da die hierher gehörigen Arten in Grösse und Ansehen sehr an die Sylvicolinen und Nemosia erinnern. Der Schnabel ist indess eine zierliche Wiederholung der Gattung Arremon und Saltator; Flügel und Schwanz sind von mittelmässiger Länge, erstere nicht abgerundet, letzterer gerade und mit kurz zugespitzten Federn." (Cabanis 1853); "Thlypopsis Cabanis, 1851 [= 1853], Mus. Heineanum, 1, p. 138. Type, by subsequent designation (G. R. Gray, 1855, Cat. Genera Subgenera Birds, p. 74), Nemosia fulvescens Strickland = Nemosia sordida d'Orbigny and Lafresnaye." (Storer in Peters 1970, XIII, 268).
