DEFINITIONS

ARSES
(Monarchidae; Ϯ Frilled Monarch A. telescophthalmus) Arses was the personal name of two ancient kings of Persia; Arses Artaxerxes I (reigned 465-424 BC) believed by some authorities to be King Ahasuerus of Biblical fame, and Arses Artaxerxes IV (reigned 338-336 BC) poisoned after a reign of only three years; "XI.^e Sous-genre. ARSÈS; Arses.  Bec médiocre, crochu, comprimé, peu large; ailes amples, alongées; queue étalée, un peu élargie; tarses courts, peu robustes.    39.º Muscicapa telescopthalma, Less., Zool. de la Coq., pl. 18, fig. 1.
