As part of an attempt to determine the correct stem of type genera of available family-group name, I came across this name, for which the etymology suggested in the Key appears entirely different from what is given in the OD:
Helinaia Audubon 1839 [OD] [The Key]
(Type genus of the group name Halinaiae Ridgway 1902 [OD].)
(10 originally included nominal species; no original type fixation; type species, by subsequent designation of Gray 1841 [here], "H. vermivora (Lath.) Aud." = Sylvia vermivora Latham 1790 [here] = Motacilla vermivora Gmelin 1789 [OD].)
(The type was regarded for a while as being Sylvia swainsonii Audubon 1834, however. Including by Ridgway 1902.)
Audubon says:(Type genus of the group name Halinaiae Ridgway 1902 [OD].)
