"Stenopsis Langsdorfi" and "Trogon Leverianus" are synonyms for ... ?

James, here are two names that in today's HBW Alive Key have a question mark or "unident." regarding their synonymity:

• "Stenopsis Langsdorfi" PELZELN (in Sclater) 1867, (here) [synonym for (Caprimulgus) Eleothreptus candicans PELZELN 1867]

• "Trogon Leverianus" SHAW 1792 (here & Plate, here) [syn. Trogon s. strigilatus LINNAEUS 1766 ... ? not T. viridis LINNAEUS 1766. vide et Collar (in del Hoyo et al. 2001:112)]

Both according to: Schifter H., E. Bauernfeind & Th. Schifter. 2007. Die Typen der Vogelsammlung des Naturhistorischen Museums Wien. Teil I. Nonpasseres. - Kataloge der wissenschaftlichen Sammlungen des Naturhistorischen Museums in Wien 20, Aves, Heft 1. Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (here, p.205 and p.238)

If they are correct in those claims is far, far beyond me, I simply noted the obscurities in the Key, while dealing with the men behind those eponyms.

For what it´s worth.

Björn

PS. Nothing to add on the eponyms themselves.
