Nous ajouterons ici, comme espèce distincte à laquelle, si elle se decouvre, nous proposer le nom de Theophilei, en mémoire des efforts du lieutenant de marine Théophile Lefebvre, chef de l'expédition, retourné si courageusement depuis plus de deux années en Abyssinie, celle si laconiquement décrite par nos voyageurs dans les termes que voici:

Lt. Charlemagne Théophile Lefebvre (1811-1860) French Navy, explorer in Abyssinia 1838-1844 (syn. Merops variegatus).
Lt. Charlemagne Théophile Lefebvre (1811-1860) French Navy, explorer in Abyssinia 1838-1844 (syn. Phoeniculus somaliensis).
