Much appreciated, Jan. Despite all my cribs I still have problems with Fraktur, hence feltsam instead of seltsam. The other two are pure misreadings/typos. Key MS corrected.
Currently working out which is the best sort of mask to wear. I fancy the one worn by Herbert Lom as Ben Yusuf in El Cid!

James, do you like opera music? Well, it does not matter really. Verdi's opera Don Carlo is on youtube, open air performance in France, with Montserrat Caballé. In the opera there is also a wonderful piece "The Dance of the Veil", of which mezzosoprano Grace Bumbry with the other ladies-in-waiting present a marvellous colourful show, which you can only enjoy, opera-lover or not.
Of course I cannot tell at which moment of the opera this takes place, but you could find out easily in the description of the work. The veil is beautiful, but not really the right choice for covering your face, in hot Spain, I think.
Well, stay well, all the best,
Jan van der Brugge (I can unveil that I still see some Swifts these days, 2 or 3, suppose they still have young to feed)

Hi James, I have been too much focused on the errors in the quoted German text. Obviously Gloger did not mean Malurus superbus or another actual Malurus species, with his term Florschleif (= gaze-tail).
Here is what I had in my own file for the Emu Wren, whose tail is far more fitting for Gloger's name, and see all the synonyms.
I should have been more alert and I feel obliged to keep others alert as well, for the benefit of science and BF!
Cheers, Jan van der Brugge

Jan,
Thanks for your insight. I have amended the initial text of Malacurus in the Key MS as follows: "Gr. μαλακος malakos soft; ουρα oura tail; perhaps a lapsus for misremembered Malurus, but if Malacurus is a new name, Jan van der Brugge in litt. suggests that Gloger's text better fits the "gauze-tailed" tautonymous Stipiturus malachurus;"
All harmony. James

However; well found!

Björn,
As indicated in #1, this thread just shows some of the major additions and amendments to my Key MS (which currently stands at 3,742 pages and over 1,400,000 words). There will be even more additions after BOWKey comes on line, as I am attempting to include type citation under each genus. Peters' Checklist has been extremely useful. Having just completed checking Mathews's Systema Avium Australasianarum, I have now made a start on W. Sclater's Systema Avium Aethiopicarum. I think errors and comments here should be retained to illustrate the rich tapestry of developments.
As ever your contributions, and those of the other Birdforum aficionados, are greatly appreciated. Everyone, stay safe and well.

Fair enough, it's your thread/Key/MS ... even if I don't see the reason for keeping account of every single typo [if so, my own MS would (awkwardly) include many hundreds of similar typos!]
However; back on topic ... regarding:
alvarezi as in:
• the Chamí antpitta Grallaria alvarezi CUERVO, et al. 2020 (here, p.13)
Ought to be the following guy: Professor Mauricio Álvarez Rebolledo, here, with some nice photos. Alt. here, the Professor himself (live and talking). Looks like he is still "fl.[-ourishing]", still going strong.
The pretty bird itself; here, or (running around); here alt. here.
Cheers!

The eponym gallardoorum "of the Gallardos," appears to be a MS name, coined to reflect the dual dedication (Podiceps).

• (syn. Onychorhynchus † Amazonian Royal Flycatcher O. coronatus) "TCHITREA MUTATA ... The generic name Terpsiphone, currently employed for the group of flycatchers to which the present species belongs, was originally proposed by Gloger as a substitute for Muscipeta Cuvier, because Muscipeta was considered "zu ähnlich und ganz gleich bedeutend mit Muscicapa;" and since the type of Muscipeta is the South American Todus regius Gmelin (= Muscivora regia auct.), it follows that the same species must be regarded as the type of Terpsiphone. This being the case, Terpsiphone can of course not be used to designate the Old World genus, for which the name Tchitrea Lesson then becomes available."

PYRRHULAGRA
(Thraupidae; † Puerto Rican Bullfinch P. portoricensis) Portmanteau of genera Pyrrhula Brisson 1760, bullfinch, and Tanagra Linnaeus, 1766, tanager; "*1021. Pyrrhulagra, Schiff, Mus. Senkenb.

FRINGILLA noctis, L." (Bonaparte 1850). The correct application of this generic name must be investigated. According to Hellmayr 1938, Cat. Birds Americas, Pt. XI, p. 159, the type of Pyrrhulagra by subsequent designation (G. Gray 1855, Cat. Gen. Subgen. Bds., p. 75) is Loxia portoricensis Daudin; but Bonaparte 1850, Monogr. Loxiens, p. v, writes, "avec le Dr. SCHIFF de Francfort nous appellons Pyrrhulagra un nouveau genre dont Fringilla noctis, L. est le type, et qui contient deux ou trois espèces semblables par la couleur si non par le bec." Fringilla noctis Linnaeus, 1766, is the type of Loxigilla Lesson, 1831, of which Pyrrhulagra Bonaparte, 1850, becomes a synonym. If Loxia portoricensis Daudin, 1800, is to be separated generically, it will need a new name.
Synon. Melopyrrha.
BUCCANODON
(Lybiidae; † Yellow-spotted Barbet B. duchaillui) Genus Bucco Temminck, 1820, barbet (see Bucco); Gr. ανοδων anodōn toothless < negative prefix αν- an- ; οδους odous, οδοντος odontos tooth; "Barbatula formosa. ... Par son ensemble, cette espéce se rapprocherait du Laimodon niger; mais son bec sans dentelure le rapporte plûtot aux vrais Barbatula. Nous avions même songé à en faire un genre que nous n'adoptons pas à cause des rapports intimes qu'elle a avec ces derniers" (J. & E. Verreaux 1855); "a. Buccanodon. Verr. 511. Duchallui, Cass. ...

Orn. Westafr., 1857, p. 171. Type, by monotypy, Barbatula duchaillui Cassin." (Peters, 1948, VI, 44).
Synon. Cladurus, Pogonites. N.B. I have yet to see Gray's 1855 Addenda (see Sclater's citation above). I am sure it has previously been located for this subforum, but cannot trace it. Any help would be appreciated and acknowledged.
Calyptrophorus
(syn. Paroaria † Red-crested Cardinal P. coronata) Gr. καλυπτρα kaluptra veil, head-dress, covering; -φορος -phoros -carrying < φερω pherō to carry; "Für Paroaria schlagen wir den Namen Calyptrophorus (καλυπτρα, Kappe, Schleier: φορεω, tragen) vor.

Calyphtrophorus.
Coliostruthus

gallardoi / gallardoorum
Dr Ángel Gallardo (1867-1934) Argentinian civil engineer, politician, zoologist, and his grandson Prof. Dr José María Alfonso Félix Gallardo (1925-1994) Argentinian zoologist, both former Directors of Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales 'Bernadino Rivadavia' (Björn Bergenholtz and Laurent Raty in litt.). The eponym gallardoorum "of the Gallardos," appears to be a MS name, coined to reflect the dual dedication (Podiceps).
LEGUATIA
(?Phoenicopteridae; † Leguatia gigantea)
François Leguat (1637-1735) French explorer, naturalist on Rodrigues 1691; "GALLINULA (LEGUATIA) GIGANTEA. Syn. Le géant, LEGUAT, voyage, II, p. 72, c. fig. … … … DU QUESNE, apud LEGUAT I, 55 (?)

Muscipeta [additional sub-entry]
• (syn. Onychorhynchus † Amazonian Royal Flycatcher O. coronatus) "TCHITREA MUTATA ... The generic name Terpsiphone, currently employed for the group of flycatchers to which the present species belongs, was originally proposed by Gloger as a substitute for Muscipeta Cuvier, because Muscipeta was considered "zu ähnlich und ganz gleich bedeutend mit Muscicapa;" and since the type of Muscipeta is the South American Todus regius Gmelin (= Muscivora regia auct.), it follows that the same species must be regarded as the type of Terpsiphone. This being the case, Terpsiphone can of course not be used to designate the Old World genus, for which the name Tchitrea Lesson then becomes available."

In an October 1929 Ibis v. 71 page 650-652 Sclater reproduces the adenda "contained in a copy of the 'List' in the Carnegie Museum at Pittsburgh but which are not known to occur in any other copy"
I have not seen it but the first page of article is here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/j.1474-919X.1929.tb08779.x .
I think the adenda and the couple of appendix in the catalogue are a response to a review in Annals and Magqazine of natural History in 1855.
https://books.google.com/books?id=N...AEwB3oECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=Buccanodon &f=false .
The Zoonomen Type notes B discusses this.

Buccanodon
Though I found one thing that (maybe) could be of interest; Jules Verreaux's first use of Buccanodon (that I can find, of course), from 1859 (here), where he himself wrote it as "BUCCANODON, J. Verr." (and, as such, claiming the Authorship!?), but where he published it prior to that I cannot say.
The Plate of (J. et E.) Verreaux's "Barbatula formosa", from 1855 (here, text on p.218), but (like stated in the quote above) there's no Buccanodon in sight in this Work.
Sclater's Systema avium aethiopicarum. A systematic ... from 1924-1930 (in two volumes, both; here).
Richmond's (1927) foot-note here, indicate that we probably ought to look for an Edition of "A List of ..." [Genera of Birds?], by Gray (1840, alt. in a later Edition), thus possibly not his "Catalogue of ... (Genera and Subgenera of Birds)"!?! Or is this simply a mix-up of the subtitle of the Catalogue itself (here)? Compare the Title page versus page 1 ... ?
However, no trace of Buccanodon in the journal "L'Ateneo Italiano", as suggested as a possibility by Richmond, at least not in the 1854 (vol.2) issue here, the closest one is Bonaparte's use of Bucconidi (but not as Genera), on pp.380-381; here. Similar to Gray's (subfamily) Bucconinæ, from 1849 (here), or here (about 1851). Also see the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of London, 1872 (here).
Though; IF the addenda were, as Mark put it; "a response" to this "review" it could hardly have been published in 1855, could it? (if ever published/printed?)
Either way, it would (of course) help to see Sclater's reproduction (in Ibis, 1929), to find out in what way it was reproduced. If it's a photo, or simply a transcript of Gray's additional List. If the latter was typed, or handwritten ...
Well, that's about all I found (and all I have to say in this certain topic).
Hopefully of some use.

PS. Though I still don't understand why Gray would change/alter Temminck's Bucco, into Bucca... ?!?
Could we (again) possibly be looking at a case of a typo (or Printer's error)?

For completeness sake (adding nothing); the "recent notice ... published in the 'Annals and Magazine of Natural History' for December 1855" [Second Series, No.96], that Gray found so (very) unjust, full of incorrectness and erroneous conclusions, that he simply had to respond and defend himself, and his views/work (here).
