DEFINITIONS
HERPSILOCHMUS
(Thamnophilidae; Ϯ Bahia Antwren H. pileatus) Gr. ἑρπω herpō to creep about; λοχμη lokhmē thicket, copse; "Herpsilochmus n. gen. (ἑρπω, kriechen, schlüpfen; λοχμη, Dickicht.) Wie die vorhergehende Gattung [Dysithamnus] gleichfalls ein Bindeglied zwischen Thamnophilus und Formicivora und gewissermassen eine Wiederholung von Thamnophilus im Kleine. Unterscheidet sich von Dysithamnus schon genügend durch den stark stufigen Schwanz und das buntere Gefieder, von Thamnophilus durch den schwächeren, seitlich nicht zusammengedrückten Schnabel und von Formicivora durch einen stärkeren breiteren vor der Spitze nicht zusammengedrückten Schnabel sowie durch schmalere Schwanzfedern und bunteres Gefieder. 1. H. pileatus. Myiothera pileata Licht. Doubl. p. 44. No. 479. ... 2. H. rufomarginatus. Myiothera rufimarginata Temm. pl. col. 132. F.1. mas, F. 2 fem. ... *3. H. axillaris.

praedicta / praedictus
L. praedictus predicted < praedicere to predict; "We speculated regularly that it was simply a matter of time before a Herpsilochmus was found in this area [Rio Madeira, Amazonas] and that it would most likely be a new species. ... The scientific and common names refer to the fact that the existence of this species was predicted before it was actually found and recognized" (Cohn-Haft & Bravo 2013) (Herpsilochmus).
