Genus HORORNIS Hodgson
Horornis Hodgson, 1845, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 31. Types H. fortipes and H. flaviventris; restricted to H. fortipes (Seebohm, 1881, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., 5: 133).
This one is pretty much problematic. The above is widely accepted nowadays, but incorrect as Seebohm's designation was (by far) not the first one; the type is:
Horornis flaviventris Hodgson, by subsequent designation (GR Gray, 1848, Gen. Bds., p. [175]).
This is apparently a synonym of
Dumeticola thoracica Blyth, now in
Locustella (previously in
Bradypterus).

Genus LARVIVORA Hodgson

Genus CYANECULA Brehm
Cyanecula C. L. Brehm, 1828, Isis von Oken 21:1280. Type, by monotypy, Motacilla svecica Linnaeus.
The type species is correct, the fixation is not. Brehm included five taxonomic species, three of which were denoted by
nomina nuda; two remain as validly originally included nominal species (
Cyanecula svecica "Brehm" (= Linnaeus 1758) and
Cyanecula wolfii Brehm (which he had described in 1822). The claim of a type by monotypy is presumably rooted in early nomenclatural practice, when type species were interpreted as taxonomic (not nominal) species --
svecica and
wolfii have indeed now long been regarded as denoting the same taxonomic species. They are, however, two distinct nominal species as far as nomenclature is concerned; their taxonomic synonymization is subjective, and subjective taxonomic opinion cannot play any role in the fixation of a type species; only one of them can be the type. Thus:
Type, by subsequent designation (Gray, 1840, List Gen. Bds., p. 21),
Motacilla svecica Linnaeus.
