*) Ich schlage für die in ihrer Nestweise so abweichende Form, die Collocalia arborea, Gld., Hir. nigricans, Vieill., den Namen Antrochelidon, Höhlen-Schwalbe, vor, welcher der ganzen II. Gruppe geeignet werden könnte. Die erste Gruppe könnte man mit Tichistes (τειχιστής = Maurer) bezeichnen, während für die III. der Name Cotyle, oder der von Cabanis für die Gould'sche Atticora leucosternon gebildete "Cheramoeca", Grabeschwalbe, (nicht "Grabschwalbe") passend erscheint.
The quoted part in today's Key's explanation, above, origins in Bonaparte's Conspectus generum avium (1850), here.holmi
Mod. L. Holmia Stockholm, Sweden; "Gampsonyx swainsonii, Vigors. (Elanus torquatus, Cuv. - Falco rufifrons, Wied. - Gampsonyx holmi, Sundeval., Mus. Lugd.) Gray et Mitchill, [sic] Genera of Birds t. 9." (Bonaparte 1850) (syn. Gampsonyx swainsonii).
To Edward Holme, M.D., the learned and accomplished President of the Natural History Society of Manchester, (who has uniformly promoted my zoological investigations by every assistance which his extensive knowledge and valuable library could supply,) this bird is respectfully dedicated.

What will happen to the Key if an agreement can't be reached?... I hope that some form of the Key will be available in the new Cornell project, planned to come on-line next week. Agreement has yet to be reached, but fingers crossed!
Jan, Trischitta's "Athene noctua salentina", 1939, was earlier dealt with/mentioned (back in 2016), in thread Antonino P. Trischitta (1892-1966), #7 (here)...
My remark about salentina is overruled: I saw that the term was listed in the Key already, A.Trischitta having described a subspecies salentina of the Little Owl in his 1939 publication "Nuove forme etc."

(= absconditus in proper Latin.)Etymology
The subspecific epithet escondidus is the masculine gender of the Spanish and Portuguese adjective meaning ‘hidden’ and refers to this subspecies having been ‘hidden in plain sight’.
Otra persona muy ligada a las actividades de don Carlos fue el científico húngaro Félix Posner, nacido en 1873. Vino al Paraguay en 1906 y permaneció en el país hasta 1922, colectando pieles de aves y otros animales.[from here]Google Translate:
Another person closely linked to Don Carlos activities was the Hungarian scientist Félix Posner, born in 1873. He came to Paraguay in 1906 and remained in the country until 1922, collecting the skins of birds and other animals.
Genus: Campocolinus Crowe, Mandiwana-Neudani, Donsker, Bowie and Little, gen. nov.
Type species: Perdix coqui A. Smith, 1836
Etymology: Formed by two words, campo meaning savanna and colinus for ‘quail’
Gender: Masculine
= here, but only in parts [from the Global Owl Project (i.e. the OD of "Asio stygius (Wagl.) var barberoi n. v."), thus, of course, not including the OD of the Seedeater ssp. "posneri" itself], though it shows the full title of the Paper (where his name is written in Capital letters, and no accent) ......
The dedicatee is in the title:
Bertoni A.W. 1930. Sobre ornitología del Chaco Paraguayo. Aves colectadas por Félix Posner en la Colonia “Monte Sociedad”, hoy Benjamin Aceval (Villa Hayes). Revista de la Sociedad Científica del Paraguay 2: 241–258.
