Simplicity is best but as it contains an eponym it may well have a limited future....Simply. I was expecting a more elaborate name 😂😂

How many species was included in genus Barita Cuvier (1816/1817). He said that his Barita was the same as the Cracticus of Vieillot (1816).
What species do they correspond to today (even if I recognize some) and is it its type species?Vieillot 1816a (20 Apr) included no nominal species in his Cracticus (he only cited two vernaculars “Cassican” and “Calybé”). The first subsequent inclusion of nominal species was in Vieillot 1816b : Cracticus varius, C. chalybeus, C. tibicen, C. cyanoleucus, C. ater (syn. tropicus), C. melanoleucus, C. cuneicaudatus, C. streperus.
Cuvier 1816 (2 Dec) included in Barita : Paradisaea viridis, Coracias varia, Coracias tibicen, Corvus graculinus (syn. Coracias strepera), ["et une nouvelle espèce, à queue étagée"].

What version did you see, then ?
Looks different from your link
The last two differ little.It is, no doubt. My link is to the first edition, yours is to the third, published 20 years later.
1st ed., 1816 : t.1 (1817) - Le règne animal distribué d'après son organisation - Biodiversity Heritage Library
2nd ed., 1829 : t.1 (1829) - Le règne animal distribué d'après son organisation, pour servir de base à l'histoire naturelle des animaux et d'introduction à l'anatomie comparée - Biodiversity Heritage Library
3rd ed., 1836 : [t.2] (1836-1849) [Oiseaux Text] - Le règne animal distribué d'après son organisation - Biodiversity Heritage Library
The 3rd ed was posthumous. I can trace no novelties listed as having been introduced in it, so it may indeed have been (near-)identical to the second ed.The last two differ little.
I downloaded an edition with engraved plates but I cannot find the year of publication. The presentation of genera is also different from previous versionsThe 3rd ed was posthumous. I can trace no novelties listed as having been introduced in it, so it may indeed have been (near-)identical to the second ed.
Several new genus-group names were introduced in the second ed -- among which I think only one (Tragopan Cuvier 1829) is in use.

It's the Atlas volume that accompanied the volume I linked above.This.
Ok 😁It's the Atlas volume that accompanied the volume I link above.
The same on BHL : [t.2] (1836-1849) [Oiseaux Atlas] - Le règne animal distribué d'après son organisation - Biodiversity Heritage Library
It was published in parts between 1838 and 1843 (Zimmer : v.16:pt.1 (1926) - Catalogue of the Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library ... - Biodiversity Heritage Library ).
