Orthorhyncus (1 Viewer)

Taphrospilus

Well-known member
I know that my post is maybe here wrong as it is no direct question to etymology.

I am wondering if Bernard Germain Lacépèdes Tableau méthodique des mammifères et des oiseaux is somehere online to check what he wrote about Orthorhyncus?

[here]

(Orthorhynchus is [here].
Introduced without any originally included nominal species; the species directly subsequently included in Lacépède & Daudin (in Buffon) 1802:280-282 [here] are to be treated as the originally included nominal species (there are 24 of them); type species by subsequent designation of Gray 1840:14 [here], "O. cristatus (Q.) Cuv." = Trochilus cristatus Linn. 1758 [OD] (= species #7 in Lacépède & Daudin 1802, l'oiseau-mouche huppé, described in this edition of Buffon in Oiseaux XI:32-33 [here]).
Taxonomically, the name was introduced to cover the birds that Buffon called les oiseaux-mouches, so Buffon's general text about these [here] may be relevant as well.)
