DEFINITIONS
HARPACTES
(Trogonidae; Ϯ Malabar Trogon H. fasciatus) Gr. ἁρπακτης harpaktēs robber < ἁρπαζω harpazō to rob; alluding to the heavy bodies and strong, deeply notched bills of these oriental trogons; "SUB-GENERA. ... 3. Bill entire. Inhabits tropical Asia. HARPACTES, Sw." (Swainson 1833); "Harpactes, Sw. Bill stronger: both mandibles deeply notched at their tips, but the margins smooth. Nostrils partially naked. Tarsus only half feathered. The anterior toes less united. Tropical Asia. The conirostral type. Malabaricus. Gould, Mon. erythrocephalus. Ib. Gouldii. (Sw.) P. C. 121. Temminckii. P. Col. 321. Duvaucellii. Ib. 291. Diardi. Ib. 54." (Swainson 1837); "Harpactes Swainson, Zool. Illustr. (2), 3, 1832-33 (1833), p. 107 (in key). Diagnosis only, no type or included species. Species added, Swainson, Classif. Bds., 2, 1837, p. 337. Type, by subsequent designation, Trogon malabaricus Gould.2 (Gray, List Gen. Bds., 1840, p. 10.) ... 2 This name is not antedated by Harpactes Templeton, Zool. Journ., 5, 1829-1834, p. 401, since the part of the Zool. Journ. containing that name was not published until Nov. or Dec. 1835." (Peters, 1945, V, p. 161).

VIDUA
(Viduidae; † Pin-tailed Whydah V. macroura) L. vidua widow < viduus bereaved, widowed (see vidua); "LES VEUVES. (VIDUA. Cuv.) Sont des oiseaux d'Afrique et des Indes, à bec de linotte, quelquefois un peu plus renflé à sa base, qui se distinguent parce que quelques unes des couvertures supérieures de leur queue sont excessivement allongées dans les mâles (1). ... (1) On ne sait pourquoi Linnæus et Gmelin les ont associés aux bruans, sous les noms de emberiza regia (enl. 8, 1) — Emb. serena (ib. 2.) — Emb. paradisea (enl. 194.) — Emb. panayensis (enl. 647.) — Emb. longicauda (enl. 635.) Si on ne laisse pas les veuves avec les linottes, on ne peut les placer qu'avec les gros becs. N. B. L'emb. principalis (Edw. 270) et l'emb. vidua (Aldrow. Ornit. II, 565) me paraissent le même oiseau en différens états de plumage. L'emb. psittacea, Seb. I, pl. 66, fig. 5, n'est pas bien authentique. L'angolensis, Salern. Orn. 277; la veuve chrysoptère, Vieill. Ois. ch. pl. 41, et le lox. macroura, enl. 183, 1, qui n'en diffère peut-être pas, ne sont point des veuves, mais des gros becs ordinaires." (Cuvier 1817); "Vidua Cuvier, 1817, Règne Animal, 1, p. 388. Type, by tautonymy, Emberiza vidua Linnaeus = Fringilla macroura Pallas." (Traylor in Peters, 1968, XIV, p. 394).
Synon. Hypochera, Linura, Steganura, Tetraenura, Videstrelda, Widha.
• (Viduidae; syn. Vidua † Long-tailed Paradise Whydah V. paradisaea) "Vidua, Cuvier. (fig. 246.) Bill short. Wings lengthened; the second, third, and two following quills longest, and of equal length. Tail boat-shaped: males with the two middle feathers excessively elongated, generally broad and convex. V. rufitorques. W. Af. i. 174.(c) erythrorhynchus. Ib. (b) chrysonotus. W. Af. i. 174.(d) paradisea. Ib. pl. 11." (Swainson 1837); "Vidua "Cuvier" Swainson, 1837, Nat. Hist. Classification Birds, II, p. 278 (not of Cuvier, 1817). Type, by subsequent designation (G. Gray, 1855, Cat. Genera Subgenera Birds Brit. Mus., p. 71), Emberiza paradisaea Linnaeus, 1758."
