Psammocichla and Psammocincla (1 Viewer)

[James Jobling]

Browsing my MS I came across Psammocichla, treated in The Key as a variant spelling of Psammocincla A. Roberts, 1922. Psammocichla may qualfy for separate entry in The Key, but I am unable to locate the source/OD of the name. I don’t tend to make names up, so where was it first found — or am I suffering from nomenclatoritis?

Thanks Laurent. I can confirm nomenclatoritis! At some time in the past, probably 2020, in my copy of Peters X, p. 97, I've crossed out Psammocichla and pencilled in Psammocincla!!
