DEFINITIONS

BERNIERIA
(Bernieridae; Ϯ Long-billed Tetraka B. madagascariensis) Alphonse Charles Joseph Bernier (1802-1858) French Navy, surgeon-naturalist in Madagascar; "b. Calamoherpeæ  ...  67. Bernieria, Bp. (*)  ...  (*) Deux espèces du Muséum: Bernieria major et Bernieria minor, Bp., Madagascar" (Bonaparte 1854);  "Ramphocænus viridis  ... Le type est originaire, non pas de l'Amérique méridionale, mais de Madagascar. C'est du Cap que M. Delalande l'a envoyé en 1820.  ... Mais notre oiseau n'est sûrement pas un Ramphocène, et je pense avec M. Charles Bonaparte que l'espèce à laquelle il sert de base doit être placée dans le genre Tataré de M. Lesson ¹.  ... ¹. M. Charles Bonaparte a fair plus récemment de cette espèce le type de son genre Bernieria (Comptes rendus, vol. XXXVIII, p. 10); c'est pour lui Bernieria major" (Pucheran 1855); "Bernieria Bonaparte, Compt. Rend. xxxviii, p. 11, 1854.  Type, by original designation, Bernieria major et B. minor = Muscicapa madagascariensis Gmel." (W. Sclater, 1930, Syst. Av. Aethiop., II, p. 367).
Var. Berniera.
