AOS says Oedemia deglandi Bonaparte, 1850, Revue critique de l’ornithologie Européenne Degland, p. 108.
https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/48001#page/116/mode/1up .
On p. 108 it does not say Oedemia deglandi as the AOS believes. It says d’Oidemia deglandi but the I in the genus name is a L'Accent Tréma or “diaeresis” it tells the reader that the o and I have their own sound and not pronounced together. This is not Latin but French. The document is presented as a letter from Bonaparte to de Selys-Longchamps so is more informal? O. Des Murs also published a critique of Degland’s work published in a Belgian journal in 1850. When I find it I hope O.Des Murs talks about sp. 484 and gives it a Latin name. Oidemia Fleming 1822 Oedemia is Sundevall 1873 and Brehm 1855. “ A. O. U. Check List. Ed. 2. 1895. No. 163 oidemia, Gr. olòmua, Lat. oedema, swelling, referring to the knob on the bill “
