DEFINITIONS
NEOCHMIA
(Estrildidae; Ϯ Black-bellied Crimson Finch N. phaeton) Gr. νεοχμια neokhmia innovation, phenomenon; “Néochmie Phaëton” (Hombron & Jacquinot 1845); "ESTRELDA Swains.* ... *Established by Mr Swainson in 1827. M. Cabanis changed this name to Habropyga in 1847, while Loxigilla of M. Lesson (1830) is synonymous. It embraces Pytelia of Mr Swainson (1837), and Neochmia of MM. Hombron et Jacquinot ... 40. E.? phæton (Homb. & Jacq.) Voy. au Pole Sud, t. 22. f.3 - Type of Neochmia Homb. & Jacq." (G. Gray 1849); "ERYTHRURE PHAETON . - ERYTHRURA PHAETON ... Cette espèce a été rapportée de la Nouvelle-Hollande (Rafles Bay): nous n'en donnerons pas la description, car elle nous semble avoir présentement acquis droit de domicile dans la science. Elle nous paraît devoir être placée dans le genre Erythrura, et nullement, comme le fait M. Gould, dans le genre Estrelda. Le bec est plus gros, plus développé que dans ce dernier type. Nous avouons cependant que, sous le point de vue de la brièveté des tarses, il y a à examiner de nouveau ce Conirostre qui, par ce caractère, nous semble assez isolé de ses congénères. Si cette disposition est constante, nul doute que le genre Neochmia ne doive être adopté" (Hombron & Jacquinot 1853).
