[QUOTE="Björn Bergenholtz, post: 3696708, member: 113430"] [b]Linnaeus's two Hummingbirds ... and "his" Hawk![/b] Even if the Etymology itself is beyond any doubt, here´s three invalid scientific names, [U]not[/U] listed in today's [I]HBW Alive Key[/I] ... [B][I]linnaei[/I][/B] as in: ● "[[I]Thaum[COLOR="Blue"][U]anti[/U][/COLOR]as[/I]] [I]linnæi[/I]" BONAPARTE 1854 ([URL="https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/48620#page/265/mode/1up"][U]here[/U][/URL], No.58/245) [New name for "[I]Trochilus thaumantias[/I]" LINNAEUS 1766 = today's subspecies [I]Polytmus guainumbi thaumantias [/I]LINNAEUS 1766] ... not listed among the other [I]linnaei[/I] birds in the [I]Key[/I], but mentioned in connection to the Generic name [I]Thaumatias[/I] (alt.

That's more than three years ago, and I´m still not all (not 100%) convinced that I understood (and understand) the synonyms properly? Anyone who can deny or confirm them as identified belonging to either one of today's taxa (as above)? The fact that James seems to hesitate in adding the two Hummingbirds to the [I]Key[/I] contributes strongly to my feeling of uncertainty ...
