Abstract
A record of First Reviser actions is needed and ZooBank is apparently expected to collect these. In support of this we
provide some contributions both to assist with the creation of the appropriate data fields within ZooBank and to stimulate
greater awareness of the retroactivity of Art. 24.2.4 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Of 66 cases
collected relating to ornithology, and solely to dual or multiple original spellings, 45 are cases where, in consequence of
this Article, under the Principle of Priority, an earlier nomenclatural act requires recognition in replacement of more
recent acts. In just a few cases the consequence is a spelling that has not been in recent use. We also act as First Revisers
in 10 additional cases discovered during our research.

Introduction
Almost two years ago we considered that it would be valuable if somewhere, perhaps centrally for zoology as
a whole, a ‘register’ should be maintained of actions by First Revisers (hereinafter FR) in the context of the
International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999), hereinafter the ‘Code’, because many are now
forgotten. In proposing such a step we concluded that there would ultimately need to be a generally agreed
methodology for this. Several tasks are given to an FR to act upon, and one of these is to decide between
original spellings when two or more have been used in the original work (Art. 24.2; ICZN, 1999: 30)1. We
chose to focus on this.
Despite the considerable importance attached to the role of an FR there is, as far as we are aware, no
central record of the actions of FRs in ornithology; yet somehow check-lists and handbooks, to which we turn
for our authorities, are expected to know about and to follow the actions of FRs. The best authorities actually
reference all actions by an FR (typically in a foot-note), but this practice may be in danger of extinction.
We were aware that the ICZN (1999), in the 4th edition of the Code, had modified the role of the FR by the
introduction of Art. 24.2.4, and that this would require consideration. We were also clear that Art. 86.3
implied that unless stated otherwise this new Article would be retroactive in effect. However, we were not
certain that this was deliberate and we wished to establish what effect there might be from retroactive
application. For this reason we felt it best to put up a list that would provoke comment. Doing this for
ornithology would, we felt, be sufficient to signal a need for general reflection. We knew that certain cases
would be contentious, and we felt that if there were to be objections 76 collected cases would allow calmer
consideration of retroactivity than having single issues used to challenge the concept. Thus these
All subsequent references to any “Art.” refer to the 1999 Edition of the I.C.Z.N. Code unless we cite an earlier
Code.

‘contributions’ are intended to stimulate a discussion before decisions can lead to their insertion in the register
that we advocate.
We did not then know, but we have been pleased to learn from a recent meeting held in Paris in August
2008 organised by the ICZN (the Commission), that the proposals made for ZooBank (Polaszek et al., 2005)
have led to serious consideration of the inclusion of all nomenclatural acts and thus that FR actions may well
be stored in ZooBank, which would eventually enhance its value throughout zoology. Since the Code permits
the nullification of an FR act (Art. 24.2.5) it will presumably also become necessary for any act of
nullification to be notified to the Commission for inclusion in ZooBank.
The new Article (24.2.4) in the 1999 edition of the Code, stipulates that an author of two different original
spellings of a name is to be accepted as the FR, when he/she uses one of these in a subsequent work, and that
therein he/she is not obliged to give both spellings and so demonstrate a deliberate choice. Note, however, that
this Article does not extend to cases where there were three or more spellings.
In accordance with the Principle of Priority (Art. 23.1) the first nomenclatural act taken under the First
Reviser Principle (Art. 24.2.1) constitutes the only valid such act (Art. 23.6). Before 1 January 1999 the Code
was even handed. When two or more spellings of a name are found in the original work, the FR, including the
author of the name, was to be the first author “to have cited them together and to have selected one spelling as
correct”. That remains correct under Art. 24.2.3 where there were three or more spellings, but, when there
were just two, simple use by the original author is enough. This, if retroactivity is to apply, requires that the
subsequent works of the original author must be re-examined to see whether he acted as FR by merely using
one of his two original spellings (Art. 24.2.4).
It should also be noted that the Code does not require the FR to state explicitly that he is making a
deliberate selection; as a result, any author who cites all original spellings one way or another and uses one
formally, for example in a heading as in Peters’s landmark Check-list of Birds of the World, and is thus seen to
be selecting “one spelling as correct” (Art. 24.2.3), acts as FR and does so validly when he is the first to do so.
This has particular relevance to the second part of this paper, and is necessary background throughout.
Original spellings that are not adopted by FRs become incorrect original spellings and are not separately
available (Art. 19.3). Their predominant or even overwhelming use does not establish “prevailing usage” in
their favour because “prevailing usage” is not to be applied to such cases (Art. 23.9.1, 33.2.3.1, 33.3.1).
Two other requirements seem to apply to all FRs not just those subsequent to an original author. Firstly,
Art. 32.2.1 makes a direct connection to Art. 32.5. Secondly, Art. 34.2 requires corrections related to gender
except for nouns in apposition.
The importance of this recent innovation in the Code leads us, in this three-part paper, to begin the review
of cases with those covered by Art. 24.2.4. We follow them with those covered by Art. 24.2.3, and, finally, we
act as FRs, under Art. 24.2.3, in a few cases that we uncovered where action is needed. In each we include
such details as we believe may be needed for any future register, as well as some explanatory comments.
In addition to our own search for names endowed with dual or multiple original spellings we have had
others pointed out to us by colleagues. In each case we have checked every spelling to its original citation and
we include each such citation in our references. In each case we list the different original spellings and use
bold characters to identify the usage selected by the FR. In our reference list we also cite all the publications
where related FR actions can be found. It has been suggested that we should have drawn upon nomenclators.
We have not done this. We did examine Neave (1939–1940) and noted that he made clear that in such cases
his ‘signals’ were used to identify the first spelling, thus although he gives other spellings we do not consider
he was deliberately selecting a spelling in the sense the Code expects.
Our lists are in alphabetical order. We considered using a systematic order, but as molecular studies
continue to lead to changes such ordering would be unhelpful. For current nomenclature, our basis for listing
names as binomials or trinomials, we give what is found in Dickinson (2003). Alternatively we use the style
‘[Dickinson, 2003: 654]’ and cite a source. In the sections dealing with species-group names we have listed
them alphabetically; specific epithets originally combined with a generic name that is not now considered
applicable are given and then the word ‘now’ links them to the spelling used in a current standard work

A LIST OF FIRST REVISER ACTIONS: ORNITHOLOGY
(usually Dickinson, 2003). In the case of names in synonymy we note where we think they belong, giving an
authority, and if the name is too new to be in Dickinson (2003) we add [post Dickinson, 2003]. Spellings not
selected by the FR(s), if reused in our text, appear in quotation marks to signal that they are not separately
available (Arts. 19.3, 32.4). Because these names then become unavailable we do not include them in our
appendices.
We should welcome suggested additions, both of FR acts that we may have overlooked and of other
original descriptions containing two or more spellings that need formal action through the selection of an FR.
We do not here address other actions by FRs such as assigning priority to one name over another in
instances when they appeared simultaneously or are thought to have so appeared (Art. 24.2.2).
Part I. Dual spellings. First Reviser acts under Article 24.2.4
We specifically seek here to explore whether ‘historically acknowledged’ FR actions located by us are
antedated by a selection made by the authors from their own two original spellings. If they are, and of course
they have priority, then we draw attention to changes that will need to be applied to spellings in use.
In fact most results agree with usage as found in Peters’s Check-list. We add comments where they do not,
as well as further explanations where they seem to be needed.
(a) Genus-group names
(1) Acanthagenys (text) / Acanthygenys (plate) Gould, 1838a
Gould (1838b) subsequently used Acanthagenys and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 437].
Note: Mathews (1925: 87) listed both original spellings and used Acanthagenys. Bruce & McAllan (1990: 478) reported on the
use by Gould of the subsequent spelling Acanthogenys which as a subsequent spelling is no longer relevant.
(2) Acridotheres (p. 42) / Acridothera (p. 69) Vieillot, 1816a
Vieillot (1819a: 389) subsequently used Acridotheres and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 654].
(3) Asturina (p. 24) / Asturia (p. 68) Vieillot, 1816a
Vieillot (1816b: 41) subsequently used Asturina and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 110].
(4) Callichelidon (pp. 269, 303) / Callichelodon (p. 271) Baird, 1865c
Baird (1873: 460, 466) subsequently used Callichelidon, and is the FR [see Peters 1960b: 84].
Note: Peters (1960b: 84)2 cited both spellings and also used Callichelidon.
(5) Chelidorhynx (p. 930) / Chelidorynx (p. 936, foot-note) Blyth, 1843
Blyth (1852: 205) subsequently used Chelidorhynx and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 493, foot-note, where
“Chelidorynx” was used].
Note: Hodgson (1844: 84) used “Chelidorynx”, citing no second original spelling, but although Hodgson provided Blyth with
the MS name he is not technically the author and thus his usage in 1844 cannot be that of an FR. Blyth (1843 : 930) mentioned
Chelidorhynx as an aside and used the combination Rhipidura hypoxantha; this specific name is variable and, as Chelidorhynx
was introduced without an indication of its gender, it is masculine (Art. 30.1.4.2) and the binomen must become C.
hypoxanthus when used in this combination.
(6) Conostoma (p. 856, plate) / Conostama (p. 857) Hodgson, 1841
Hodgson (1844: 84) used Conostoma and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 622].
That Peters was responsible for the Hirundinidae is stated on p. vi of Mayr & Greenway (1960).

DAVID ET AL.4 · Zootaxa 2085 © 2009 Magnolia Press
Note: we have traced no other FR until Dickinson & Pittie (2006: 119, foot-note), who cited both spellings and used
Conostoma (p. 118).
(7) Dromiceius (p. 54) / Dromaius (p. 70) Vieillot, 1816a
Vieillot (1816d: 211) subsequently used Dromaius and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 35].
Note: Peters (1931: 9) used “Dromiceius” but did not cite Vieillot’s second spelling. Mayr (1979: 9), who cited both spellings
and used Dromaius, indicated that G.R. Gray (1840: 63) had acted as FR, and referred to Melville (1977) for the details of this
case.
(8) Erythrogonys (text) / Erythrogonus (plate) Gould, 1838a
Gould (1838b: 155) subsequently used Erythrogonys and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 134].
Note: Mathews (1913: 31) gave both spellings and used Erythrogonys.
(9) Endyptes (p. 67) / Eudyptes (p. 70) Vieillot, 1816a
Vieillot (1818: 305) subsequently used Eudyptes and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 71].
(10) Guarouba (p. 210) / Guaruba (p. 211) Lesson, 1830 (10 July, Livraison 3) 3
Lesson, 1831 (11 June, Livraison 8, index, p. 654) subsequently used Guaruba and is the FR. [Dickinson,
2003: 196, where “Guarouba” was used].
Note: Forshaw (2006: 102) believed Lesson (1831) to have acted as FR. Forshaw was correct; each part of a multi-part work
has its own publication date (Art. 21.5) and each is a separate published work (Arts. 8 and 9); therefore, Lesson is the FR under
Art. 24.2.4 as he “subsequently uses one of them [the two different original spellings] as valid in a work”. The type species
(guarouba Gmelin, 1788) of Lesson’s new genus was listed under Conurus Kuhl, 1820 by XIX Century authors until Conurus
was deemed inapplicable, and afterwards Cory (1918) listed guarouba Gmelin, 1788 under Eupsittula Bonaparte, 1853, and
Peters (1937) under Aratinga Spix, 1824. Pinto (1938) revived Guaruba and was followed by Wolters (1975), Sick (1990,
1993) and Forshaw (2006). Collar (1997) used “Guarouba” but due to Lesson’s selection this spelling is no longer available
(Art. 19.3).
(11) Hematortyx / Haematortyx (p. 266) Sharpe, 1879
Sharpe (1899: 30) subsequently used Haematortyx and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 56].
(12) Nephoecetes (pp. xviii, xxix) / Nephocaetes (pp. 140, 142) Baird, 1858
Baird (1859: 3) subsequently used Nephoecetes and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 246, foot-note, where
“Nephoectes”, a typographical error, appears].
(13) Oreoscoptes (pp. xix, xxxv) / Oroscoptes (pp. 343, 346, 347, 987, 990) Baird, 1858
Baird (1859: 7) subsequently used Oreoscoptes and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 649].
(14) Paradisaea (p. 83) / Paradisea (p. 110) Linnaeus, 1758
Linnaeus (1766: 117, 166) subsequently used Paradisea and is the FR; he also used it in his Nomina Generica
(Linnaeus, 1767) and his Index Universalis (Linnaeus, 1768). [Dickinson, 2003: 518 where “Paradisaea” was
used].Note: Iredale (1948) cited both spellings and also used Paradisea. Mayr (1962: 199) used “Paradisaea” but did not cite the
other spelling. McAlpine (1979), who referred to Iredale (1948), also used Paradisea while citing both original spellings, and
stated that “Linnaeus (1766: 177, 166) consistently used the spelling Paradisea and this spelling is to be accepted as correct”.
LeCroy (1983) was right in saying that Linnaeus (1766) did not act as FR under the Code then in force (ICZN 1964), but she
overlooked McAlpine (1979) who had acted as FR by selecting Paradisea (ICZN 1964, Art. 32b and 24a).

A LIST OF FIRST REVISER ACTIONS: ORNITHOLOGY
(15) Pedioecetes (pp. xxi, xliv) / Pediocaetes (pp. 619, 625) Baird, 1858
Baird (1859: 12) subsequently used Pedioecetes and is the FR. [Peters, 1934: 40].
Note: Gill (1899: 23) selected Pedioecetes over “Pediocaetes”.
(16) Pooecetes (pp. xx, xxxix, 927) / Poocaetes (pp. 439, 447, 980, 994) Baird, 1858
Baird (1859: 9) subsequently used Pooecetes and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 785].
Note: Gill (1899: 23) selected Pooecetes over “Poocaetes”.
(17) Pyrenestes (pp. 159, 160, 161) / Pirenestes (pp. xii, 156) Swainson, 1837a
Swainson (1837b: 277) subsequently used Pyrenestes and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 728].
(18) Rhyncops (p. 84) / Rynchops (p. 138) Linnaeus, 1758
Linnaeus (1766) repeated his two original spellings (pp. 118 and 228, respectively). However, Linnaeus
(1767: [1331], Nomina Generica) subsequently used Rynchops and is the FR. Linnaeus (1768) again used
that spelling in his Index Universalis. [Dickinson, 2003: 153].
Note: Saunders (1896: 152) cited and used “Rhynchops” from Linnaeus (1766: ‘223’ [sic]) but Linnaeus did not use that and it
is an incorrect subsequent spelling; Saunders footnoted “Originally Rynchops”. The spelling “Rhynchops” is found in Latham
(1790: 802), who was probably the first to use this spelling.
(19) Telespyza (p. 341) / Telespiza (plate 9) Wilson, 1890
Wilson in Wilson & Evans (1899: xxv) subsequently used Telespiza and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 758,
where “Telespyza” was used].
Note: Greenway (1968: 102) listed “Telespyza” in the synonymy of Loxioides. The spelling Telespiza was also selected by
Olson & James (1986). The AOU (1998: 671) did not mention that there had been two original spellings.
(20) Thamnophilus (p. 40) / Tamnophilus (p. 70) Vieillot, 1816a
Vieillot (1816c: 308) subsequently used Thamnophilus and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 380].
(21) Thriothorus (p. 45) / Thryothorus (p. 70) Vieillot, 1816a
Vieillot (1819c: 55) subsequently used Thryothorus and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 636].
(22) Xiphoramphus (p. 929) / Xiphorhamphus (pp. 947, 986) Blyth, 1843
Blyth (1852: 147) subsequently used Xiphorhamphus and is the FR.
Note: This name is not in use; it was proposed as a substitute name for Xiphirhynchus Blyth, 1842.
(b) Species-group names
(23) aurantithorax (cover caption) / aurantiithorax (text) Beresford, Fjeldså & Kiure, 2004
Fjeldså in Dillon & Fjeldså (2005: 682) subsequently used aurantiithorax and is the FR.
Sheppardia aurantiithorax [post Dickinson (2003)]4.
(24) blakei (p. 7) / blakey (p. 10) Olrog, 1973
Olrog (1979: 243) subsequently used blakei, adding that “blakey” was a misprint, and is the FR.
Catharus dryas blakei [Dickinson, 2003: 665].
All entries relating to names in the ‘species-group’ end with a fresh and final line giving the original combination
and where needed a recent authoritative listing, usually Dickinson (2003).

(25) cassini (p. 205) / cassinii (plate 14, fig 25) Sclater, 1863
Sclater (1866: 613) used cassini and is the FR.
Chaetura cassini, now Neafrapus cassini [Dickinson, 2003: 250].
(26) commersoni (p. 34) / commersonii (p. 34, note 2) von Pelzeln, 1868
Von Pelzeln (1870: 353) subsequently used commersoni and is the FR.
Furnarius commersoni, now Furnarius rufus commersoni [Dickinson, 2003: 404].
(27) connectens / connecteus (p. 207) Kloss, 1918
Kloss in Robinson & Kloss (1918: 110) subsequently used connectens (a more correct derivation than
“connecteus” from the Latin verb connectere) and is the FR.
Mixornis rubricapilla connectens, now Macronus gularis connectens [Dickinson, 2003: 608, who used
“Macronous”; for use here of Macronus see Part II of this paper].
Note: Deignan (1964b: 320) listed “connecteus [sic]”, implying that this was the sole original spelling, but used connectens
which he apparently accepted as an emendation.
(28) eurythma (pl. 2) / eurhythma (pp. 73, 74) Swinhoe, 1873
Swinhoe (1875: 132) subsequently used eurhythma and is the FR.
Ardetta eurhythma, now Ixobrychus eurhythmus [Dickinson, 2003: 85].
(29) forsteni (text [p. 491]) / forstenii (pl. 124) G.R. Gray, 1847
G.R. Gray (1861: 362) subsequently used forsteni and is the FR.
Megapodius forsteni [Dickinson, 2003: 37, who used “forstenii”].
Note: G.R. Gray (1862: 289) also used forsteni. Peters (1934: 5) listed only “forstenii” and used that, although he cited
Stresemann (1914), who had used Gray’s selection.
(30) gundlachi (pp. 197, 202) / gundlachii (p. 194) Baird, 1865a
Baird (1873: 457, 467) subsequently used gundlachi and is the FR.
Dendroica gundlachi, now Dendroica petechia gundlachi [Dickinson, 2003: 760].
(31) haastii (p. 35) / haasti (p. 35) Potts, 1872 (Jan.)
Potts (1872, May [imprint 1871]: 204-205) subsequently and consistently used haastii and is the FR.
Apteryx haastii [Dickinson, 2003: 35].
Note: although dated 1871, the intended original description in the Transactions is associated with a title page dated May 1872.
(32) insularius / insularis (p. 117) Ramsay, 18786
Ramsay (1879: 317) subsequently used insularis and is the FR.
Gerygone insularis, now Gerygone igata insularis [Dickinson, 2003: 447].
Note: Mayr (1986: 456) cited “insularius [sic]” but used insularis without citing it as an original spelling thus signalling the
use of an emendation. Whereas insularius is a noun [a tenant], insularis is an adjective [belonging to an island].
(33) mccalli (pp. xliv [m’ccalli7], 611, 985, 990) / mccallii (p. 612) Baird, 1858
Baird (1859: 12) subsequently used mccalli and is the FR.
Ortalis mccalli, now Ortalis vetula mccalli [Dickinson, 2003: 37 where “mccallii” was used].
Usually bound opposite p. 98.
Dated 1879 by Mayr (1986: 456) but see 1929 Index to the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South
Wales.
m’ccalli loses its apostrophe under Arts. 27 and 32.3.2.1 and thus does not constitute a third spelling.

A LIST OF FIRST REVISER ACTIONS: ORNITHOLOGY
(34) mississippiensis (p. xvi) / misisippiensis (p. 80) Wilson, 1811
Wilson (1812: vi) subsequently used mississippiensis and is the FR.
Falco mississippiensis, now Ictinia mississippiensis [Dickinson, 2003: 100].
Note: Full details were given by AOU (1976).
(35) olivaceus (pp. xv, 264, 266, 268) / olivaceous (p. 264) Swainson 1837a
Swainson (1837b: 228) subsequently used olivaceus and is the FR.
Trichophorus olivaceus, now Criniger olivaceus [Dickinson, 2003: 572].
Note: Rand (1960: 276) used olivaceus without comment, but Benson (1999: 103) quoted both spellings and used olivaceus.
(36) polionota (p. 103) / polionotum (pp. 102, 103) Schodde and Mason, 1999
Schodde (2008: 71) subsequently used polionotum and is the FR.
Stipiturus malachurus polionotum [Dickinson, 2003: 430]
Note: Schodde and Mason (1999) stated that the name was used as a noun in apposition. Schodde (2008) cited both original
spellings, stated that “polionota” was the result of a typographic error, and selected polionotum while explicitly saying he was
acting as FR.
(37) pucherani (pl. 69) / pucheranii (text) Lafresnaye in Des Murs, 18498
Des Murs (1849) cited “pucheranii De Lafresnaye”, explicitly stated that he was quoting Lafresnaye’s
material and gave the whole description in quotation marks so that Lafresnaye must be seen as the author of
the name under Art. 50.1.1. Lafresnaye (1850), in a paper that repeats almost verbatim what Des Murs (1849)
had published, and where he confirmed (p. 379) that he was the author of the name, subsequently used
pucheranii (p. 378) and is the FR.
Xyphorhynchus pucheranii, now Campylorhamphus pucheranii [Dickinson, 2003: 425 who used “pucherani
(Des Murs, 1849)”].
Note: Peters (1951: 54) cited both spellings and used “pucherani”, but his spelling is no longer available (Art. 19.3) on account
of Lafrenaye's selection. Wolters (1977: 204) used pucheranii. At the suggestion of Alan Peterson we have re-examined the
evidence of publication to determine whether the plate may have preceded the text. It is reported that 6 plates appeared with
each part of Des Murs work (and we know of no report that the texts issued were not those for the relevant plates); in the case
of this livraison, issued in both folio and quarto editions, it seems that in the case of the quarto edition the text may have been
lacking, but that for the folio edition it was not9.
(38) pygmaea (pl. 2) / pygmea (p. 2) von Kittlitz, 183510.
von Kittlitz (1858: 432) subsequently used pygmaea and is the FR.
Nectarinia pygmaea, now Dicaeum pygmaeum [Dickinson, 2003: 702].
(39) randoni (p. 150) / randonii (pl. 11) Loche, 1860
Loche (1867: 41) subsequently used randonii and is the FR.
Galerida randonii, now Galerida cristata randonii [Dickinson, 2003: 548, who used “randoni”].
Note: Vaurie (1959: 46) gives “Galerida Randonii Loche, 1858, Cat. Mamm. Ois. Algérie, p. 85”, but we agree with Hartert
(1904: 232) that randonii, Loche, 1858, is a nomen nudum. Peters (1960a: 57)11 and de Juana et al. (2004: 595) cited and used
randoni Loche, 1860, no longer available (Art. 19.3) on account of Loche’s selection, whereas Wolters (1979: 309), Cramp et
al. (1988: 145) and Keith et al. (1992: 100) used randonii.
Text dated December 1848; wrapper date 1849.
See Bibliographie de la France (25 August 1849)
Usually dated 1833, but this is incorrect see Steinbacher (1954).
That Peters was responsible for the Alaudidae can be seen from p. vi of this work.

(40) rudolfi (p. 232, 234) / rudolphi (pl. VI) Meyer, 1882
Meyer (1892: 265) subsequently used rudolfi and is the FR.
Ninox rudolfi [Dickinson, 2003: 234].
(41) sancti-hieronymi (p. 190) / sancti-jeromae (plate 23) Salvin, 1863
Salvin (1866: 195) subsequently used sancti-hieronymi, now sanctihieronymi under Art. 32.5.2.4.1., and is
the FR.
Panyptila sanctihieronymi [Dickinson, 2003: 252].
(42) sauricus (p. 3) / saurensis (pp. 4, 5) Potapov, 1993
Potapov (2007: 654) explicitly stated he was acting as FR and selected sauricus.
Tetraogallus himalayensis sauricus [Dickinson, 2003: 48 where “saurensis” was used].
Note: Dickinson (2003: 48, foot-note 2) cited sauricus but used “saurensis”. E.C. Dickinson here confirms that his use of
“saurensis” should not be construed as an intentional FR act and that it was he who suggested to R. L. Potapov to take formal
action as FR. Potapov’s action under Art. 24.2.4 should be recognised as the valid action by an FR.
(43) sulphurata (p. 100) / sulphurea (pl. 60) Temminck & Schlegel, 1848 (27 Nov.)
Temminck & Schlegel (1850) subsequently used sulphurata and are the FRs.
Emberiza sulphurata [Dickinson, 2003: 779].
Note: It is not known with which of fascicles 4 to 8 (1847-1848) pl. 60 appeared (Holthuis & Sakai, 1970: 74). Pl. 60 must
therefore be assumed to be from the last of these and dated 27 November 1848. Each part of a multi-part work has its own
publication date (Art. 21.5) and each is a separate published work (Arts. 8 and 9); therefore, the author, (here, Temminck &
Schlegel), is the FR under Art. 24.2.4 since he “subsequently uses one of them [the two different original spellings] as valid in
a work”. Paynter (1970: 28) used sulphurata without further indication. Kuroda (1934) and Morioka et al. (2005: 122) cited
both spellings and used sulphurata.
(44) swainsoni (p. 331) / swainsonii (pp. xxxv, 336, 999) Baird, 1858
Baird (1866: 325, 329) subsequently used swainsoni and is the FR.
Vireo swainsoni, now Vireo gilvus swainsoni [Dickinson, 2003: 484 where “swainsonii” was used].
Note: Hellmayr (1935: 151) and AOU (1957: 476; 1998: 436) used “swainsonii” without comment, but on account of Baird’s
selection this is no longer available (Art. 19.3).
(45) winchelli (p. 318) / winchellii (pl. 47) Sharpe, 1877
Sharpe (1892: 255) subsequently used winchelli and is the FR.
Halcyon winchelli, now Todiramphus winchelli [Dickinson, 2003: 287].
Conclusions from Part I
We have traced and examined 45 cases where an author acted as his own reviser, under the relaxed conditions
of Art. 24.2.4; in each case the need to select correctly has been met.
On the whole, the selections made by the author should be able to be accepted although our findings for
Chelidorhynx, Guaruba, Paradisea, forsteni, pucheranii and swainsoni require the ornithological community
to accept a degree of change since First Reviser actions are not subject to prevailing usage.

A LIST OF FIRST REVISER ACTIONS: ORNITHOLOGY
Part II. Dual or multiple spellings. Actions under article 24.2.3
The difference here is that subsequent FRs, i.e. not original authors, are required to cite all original spellings
and select one as correct. First, we deal with cases where neither original spelling was demonstrably incorrect;
then, we deal with those where at least one spelling was incorrect.
Cases presenting no incorrect choice (Art. 32.4 and Art. 32.5):
(a) Genus-group names
(46) Bradypterus (p. 379) / Bradyptetus (p. 241) Swainson, 1837b
Benson et al. (1978) explicitly stated they were acting as FRs and selected Bradypterus. [Dickinson, 2003:
580].
(47) Icthyophaga / Icthyiophaga Lesson, 1843
Richmond (1917: 570, foot-note) cited both spellings and is the FR as he stated that “Icthyophaga Lesson
should replace Poliaetus Kaup, 1847”. [Dickinson, 2003: 101, where “Ichthyophaga” was used].
Note: Peters (1931: 259) used Richmond’s selection. Stresemann & Amadon (1979: 302) listed “Icthyophaga [sic]” and used
“Ichthyophaga”12. This was not one of the original spellings and can only be an unjustified emendation of Lesson’s generic
name; they also miscited the generic name in mentioning the type species as given by Lesson (“Ichthyo…” instead of
Icthyio…).
(48) Licmetis (pp. 505, 748) / Lycmetis (p. 738) / Lycmetem [accusative case, i.e. Lycmetis] (p. 692) Wagler,
1832
Mathews (1917: 213) cited both spellings, used Licmetis, and is the FR [see Peters, 1937: 177].
(49) Macronus (pl. 150, index) / Macronous (text) Jardine & Selby, 1835
G.R. Gray (1840, 1841) used Macronus, but in neither did he give both original spellings so no FR act
occurred. However, later, G.R. Gray (1855: 41) cited both spellings and used Macronus, and is thus the FR.
[Dickinson, 2003: 608 where “Macronous” was used].
Note: it is assumed here that the index to vol. 3 of Illustrations of Ornithology accompanied part 10, in which this plate and its
text appeared, although this is not certain (Zimmer, 1926: 323). G.R. Gray’s (1840, 1841, 1855) spelling predominated until
Deignan (1964b: 318) cited only “Macronous” and used that. In a foot-note to that, the editors, Mayr and Paynter, said that
Macronous was used by Blyth (1842) acting as FR, but this is incorrect as Blyth did not cite the other spelling; they added that
the plate is lettered Macronus and that they “would prefer to maintain this more frequently used spelling”. Although the FR act
of G.R. Gray (1855: 41) was overlooked or disputed, Cheng (1976: 619) and Wolters (1980: 389; 1982: 552) followed Mayr
and Paynter and used Macronus and gave both spellings.
(50) Myadestes (p. 132) / Myidestes (p.134) Swainson, 1838
Ridgway (1907: 160) cited both spellings, used Myadestes, and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 663].
(51) Propyrrhura (p. 7; folding table opposite p. 10; pl. 2, fig. 3 ) / Prophyrrhura (p. 18) Miranda-Ribeiro,
1920
Peters (1937: 180) cited both spellings, used Propyrrhura, and is FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 196, foot-note 3].
The correction by Stresemann & Amadon (1979) of usage by Peters (1931) demonstrates the problem with First
Reviser actions that are neither cited when used nor registered to help prevent mistaken usage of an unavailable spelling.

(52) Sphecotheres (p. 42) / Sphecotera (pp. 68, 70) Vieillot, 1816a
Bonaparte (1854: 539) cited both spellings, used Sphecotheres, and is the FR. [Dickinson, 2003: 486].
Note: Vieillot (1819b: 5) used Sphecothera [sic] which was not an original spelling, and G.R. Gray (1840, 1841) used
Sphecotheres without citing the other original spelling. Mathews (1921: 159) made the same selection as Bonaparte.
(b) Species-group names
(53) aemodius (p. 856) / omodius (plate) / oemodius (p. 857) Hodgson, 1841
Hellmayr (1903: 166) cited all three spellings, used aemodium (the corrected neuter form of aemodius) and is
the FR.
Conostoma aemodium [Dickinson, 2003: 622, where “oemodium” was used].
Note: Hodgson (1844: 84) employed the spelling aemodium. Hartert (1907: 413) like Hellmayr cited all three spellings but
used aemodius (now aemodium). Deignan (1964a: 431), dating the name ‘1841 or 1842’, overlooked these acts and used the
oe- spelling, but Ripley (1982) used the ae- spelling. For an examination of evidence as regards the date of the name see
Dickinson & Pittie (2006: 118). For the use of Conostoma see Part I of this paper.
(54) fascialota (pl. 111) / fasciolata (text) Smith, 1847a
Traylor (1986: 194) cited both spellings, used fasciolatus (ex fasciolata), and is the FR.
Drymoica fasciolata, now Calamonastes fasciolatus [Dickinson, 2003: 563].
(55) lebomboensis (p. 175) / lebombo (pp. 163, 205) Roberts, 1936
Clancey (1964: 375) explicitly stated he was acting as FR and selected lebombo.
Dryodromas fulvicapilla lebombo, now Cisticola fulvicapilla lebombo [Dickinson, 2003: 554].
(56) melancoripha (p. 234) / melancorypha (p. 344) Molina, 1782
Hellmayr & Conover (1948: 286) cited both spellings, used melancoryphus (ex melancorypha), and are the
FRs.
Anas melancorypha, now Cygnus melancoryphus [Dickinson, 2003: 63].
Note: Johnsgard (1979: 432) seemingly overlooked the FR act as he cited melancoripha and “melanocorypha” [sic], and used
“melanocoryphus” (see David & Gosselin, 2002a).
(57) tianquanensis (pp. 373, 375, 377) / tianguanensis (p. 376) / tianouanensis (p. 374) Li Gui-yuan, 1995
Martens in Martens & Tietze (2006: 281) listed all three spellings, selected tianquanensis and is the FR.
Certhia tianquanensis [Dickinson, 2003: 648].
Cases in which an incorrect choice was possible (Art. 32.4 and 32.5):
(a) Genus-group names
(58) Psittacella (p. 35) / Psitacella (pp. 36, 60) Schlegel, 1871
Peters (1937: 251, 252) cited both spellings and used Psittacella. [Dickinson, 2003: 190].
Note: Schlegel (1871) did not cite the derivation of the name, but consistently used related names spelled with “tt” (Psittacula,
pp. 35, 60; Psittacus, pp. 35, 36), thus showing that “Psitacella” was an inadvertent error under Art. 32.5.1. Schlegel (1874)
subsequently used “Psitacella” as a genus heading and in combination with brehmii and modesta (p. 42) while using
Psittacella in combination with the specific names (p. 79).

A LIST OF FIRST REVISER ACTIONS: ORNITHOLOGY
(b) Species-group names
(59) behni (p. xviii) / behmi (pl. 20) Gould, 1875
Peters (1945: 158) cited both spellings and used behni.
Trogon behni, now Trogon curucui behni [Dickinson, 2003: 280].
Note: The selection conforms with Gould’s explicit internal indication in the text to the plate reading “I regret that, by a
misprint, the title has been rendered Trogon behmi instead of T. behni” which shows that “behmi” was an inadvertent error.
(60) iradii (pp. 50, 130, 137) / yradii (plate 7) Lembeye, 1850
Peters (1940: 254) cited both spellings and used iradii.
Cypselus iradii, now Tachornis phoenicobia iradii [Dickinson, 2003: 252].
Note: The selection conforms with the explicit dedication for “D. José Cayetano Iradi” in the original work. Cory (1918: 146)
cited and used “yradii” but has a foot-note saying: “It is evident that yradii is a misprint as the bird was named after Sr. Iradi
and the name appears, properly spelled, several times in the work.”
(61) luteiventris (pp. 87, 123) / luteoventris (plate XII, Fig. III) Meyen, 1834
Paynter (1970: 129) cited both spellings and used luteiventris.
Fringilla luteiventris, now Sicalis luteola luteiventris [Dickinson, 2003: 791.]
Note: The selection conforms with the author’s formal statement in his “Verzeichniss der Abbildungen” (list of plates)
indicating that “luteoventris” on the plate should be corrected to luteiventris (Meyen 1834: 123, foot-note).
(62) maronica / maranonica (p. 27) Carriker, 1933
Traylor (1979: 15) cited both spellings and used maranonicum (the correct neuter form of maranonica).
Camptostoma obsoletum maranonica, now Camptostoma obsoletum maranonicum [Dickinson, 2003: 352].
Note: The selection conforms with the internal indications (“Marañon race”, “Marañon Valley”) in the original work showing
that “maronica” was an inadvertent error.
(63) marequensis (pl. 113) / mariquensis (text, index) Smith, 1847b
Clancey (1966: 507) cited both spellings and used mariquensis, as did Traylor (1986: 302).
Bradornis mariquensis, now Melaenornis mariquensis mariquensis [Dickinson, 2003: 690].
Note: The selection reflects the view that “marequensis” was an inadvertent error as other taxa in the original work bear the
name mariquensis.
(64) spengeli (p. 614) / spengleri (pl. 38) Hartlaub, 1885
Peters (1937: 203) cited both spellings and used spengeli.
Psittacula spengeli, now Forpus xanthopterygius spengeli [Dickinson, 2003: 200].
Note: The selection conforms with the explicit dedication to Spengel in the original work showing that “spengleri” was an
inadvertent error.
(65) swindernianus (p. 62) / swinderianus (plate) Kuhl, 1820
Peters (1937: 255) cited both spellings and used swinderniana (now swindernianus).
Psittacus swindernianus, now Agapornis swindernianus [Dickinson, 2003: 194].
Note: Agapornis is masculine (David & Gosselin, 2002b). The selection conforms with the explicit dedication in the original
work to “Theodorus von Swindern” [sic], requiring that swindernianus be the correct original spelling, although it is known
from external sources that the person honoured was actually named Swinderen (Jobling, 1991). When Selby (1836) introduced
Agapornis, he used “SWINDERN’S LOVE-BIRD” but “Agapornis Swinderianus”. David & Gosselin (2002b) used
“swinderianus” as given by Selby, not noting that this was not the spelling used by Peters (1937) and the majority of authors.

(66) uruguaii (pp. 54, 59) / urugaii (p. 59) Hekstra, 1982
Browning (1990: 452), having earlier addressed the nomenclature of this taxon, finally explicitly stated that
he was acting as FR and selected uruguaii.
Otus uruguaii, now Otus choliba uruguaii [Dickinson, 2003: 223, where “uruguaiensis” was used].
Note: Browning (1989: 516) cited both original spellings but then deliberately used “uruguaiensis” instead of either. Not being
one of the two original spellings, the name uruguaiensis Browning 1989 is an unjustified emendation (ICZN 1985, Art. 33 (b),
33 (b) (iii); 1999, Art. 33.2, 33.2.3), and a junior synonym of a name of which the correct original spelling was not yet fixed.
Browning (1990: 452) asserted that his 1989 emendation was an incorrect subsequent spelling, but this was misconceived. An
incorrect subsequent spelling is a subsequent spelling “other than a mandatory change or an emendation” and is not
intentional (ICZN 1985, Art. 33 (c); 1999, Art. 33.3). Browning (1990: 452) also asserted that uruguaii in the introductory list
of species (Hekstra 1982: 54) is a nomen nudum; although this label is often applied in such cases we also believe it to be
technically incorrect since uruguaii is one of two spellings of an available name in the same work. That it appears some pages
before the description does not change this. By contrast a nomen nudum is a name that fails to conform to Art. 13 (Glossary,
ICZN 1985, 1999). Browning (1990: 452) stated that the repeated use of uruguaii by Hekstra (1982) indicated his intended
spelling; and, indeed, this selection by Browning (1990: 452) also conforms with the internal indication (River Uruguai) in the
original work showing that “urugaii” was an inadvertent error.
Conclusions from Part II
Of 66 cases we have examined, 45 were treated in part I (above), here we have treated the remaining 21 cases.
In these the need to comply with the requirements of Article 24.2.3 with reference to Article 35 for selection of the
correct spelling has been consistently met.
Part III. Dual or multiple spellings. Fresh First Reviser selections
During our study we came across a number of cases where an FR should have already made a selection.
Finding none we here take the actions required, in each case seeking to ensure that the correct original spelling
is used when there is one that is demonstrably correct. We believe these 10 selections also qualify for
inclusion in any central record.
(a) Genus-group names
(67) Agaia (pp. xv, xix) / Ajaia (pp. 25, xvi) / Ajaja (p. xix) Reichenbach, 1853
We hereby act as FRs and select Ajaia as the correct original spelling. [Dickinson, 2003: 83]
Note: most authors since Reichenbach used Ajaia (e.g. Peters 1931: 140; Wolters 1976; AOU 1957, 1983, 1998) but we have
found none who cited all three original spellings.
(68) Stephanoxis (p. 40) / Stephanoxys (p. 46) Simon, 1897
We hereby act as FRs and select Stephanoxis as the correct original spelling. [Dickinson, 2003: 260].
Note: Hartert (1900: 213) used Stephanoxis, and mentioned Sharpe (1900: 142) but did not say that the latter used
“Stephanoxys”. Neither commented, and nor did Brabourne & Chubb (1912: xiii, 146) who used Stephanoxis. Simon (1921)
used Stephanoxis (pp. 47, 48, 282) and Stephanoxys (p. 415) and thus did not act as FR, nor did Peters (1945: 30) who used
Stephanoxis.

A LIST OF FIRST REVISER ACTIONS: ORNITHOLOGY
(b) Species-group names
(69) buffonii (pp. 5, 6, 8, 9 [twice on p. 9]) / buffoni (p. 7) Lafresnaye, 1845
We hereby act as FRs and select buffonii as the correct original spelling.
Picumnus buffonii, now Picumnus exilis buffonii [Dickinson, 2003: 312, where “buffoni” was used.]
Note: In addition to temminckii, Lafresnaye (1845) established buffonii on p. 6 and used it repeatedly, except that “buffoni
Nob.” appears on p. 7 in the Latin description of another taxon as a means of comparison. It is apparent that “buffoni” on p. 7 is
an inadvertent error. Inexplicably, Hargitt (1890: 544), Cory (1919: 508), and Peters (1948: 91) all used “buffoni” but cited it
from p. 6, where that spelling is not found.
(70) erythrorynchos (p. 299) / erythrorhynchos (p. 906, index) Latham, 1790
We hereby act as FRs and select erythrorhynchos as the correct original spelling, selecting the spelling in the
index as this is now widely used.
Certhia erythrorhynchos, now Dicaeum erythrorhynchos [Dickinson, 2003: 701].
Note: Like Salomonsen (1967: 186), almost all recent authors used “erythrorhynchos”, but cited it from p. 299. Inskipp et. al
(1996) indicated that “erythrorhynchos” was used by all authors they consulted for their listing, mentioned that
“erythrorynchos” was the original spelling of the name, and used it in compliance with the Code then in force (ICZN, 1985:
Art. 31 b, 32 b). Inskipp et al. (1996) did not act as FRs because they were unaware that the original work contained two
different spellings.
(71) franciscae (p. 231) / francescae (p. 232) Baird, 1865b
We hereby act as FRs and select francescae as the correct original spelling.
Granatellus francescae, now Granatellus venustus francescae [Dickinson, 2003: 768].
Note: Baird (1865b: 233) stated that the bird was named for Mrs. Grayson. Lowery & Monroe (1968: 79) cited “franciscae
[sic]”, used francescae, and added “(emendation to francescae, p. 232)”. However, francescae was not an emendation, it was
one of the two original spellings.
(72) kollmanspergeri (p. 36) / kollmannspergeri (p. 59) Niethammer, 1955
We hereby act as FRs and select kollmannspergeri as the correct original spelling.
Ammomanes deserti kollmannspergeri [Dickinson, 2003: 545, where “kollmanspergeri” was used].
Note: Peters (1960a: 35) cited and used “kollmanspergeri”, but that spelling is an incorrect original spelling as the author stated
in the original work that the taxon was named for Kollmannsperger (in litt. Norbert Bahr).
(73) mesaeus (pp. 125, 126) / mescus (p. 126, twice) Conover, 1945
We hereby act as FR and select mesaeus (now mesaea) as the correct original spelling.
Penelope mesaeus, now Penelope argyrotis mesaea [in the synonymy of nominotypical argyrotis].
[Dickinson, 2003: 38, foot-note, where “mesaeus” was used].
Note: Whereas mescus cannot be linked to a Latin or Greek word, mesaeus is a latinized Greek adjective [ , in the
middle], for the intermediate characters of the taxon, showing that “mescus” was an inadvertent error. Vaurie (1966) and Blake
(1977) used mesaeus without repeating the two original spellings and failed to effect the mandatory change to mesaea as
Penelope is feminine (Arts. 31.2, 34.2).
(74) neoboria (Vol. 1, p. 154) / neoborea (Vol. 2, p. 973) Oberholser, 1974
We hereby act as FRs and select neoborea as the correct original spelling.

Anas neoborea, now Anas platyrhynchos neoborea [in the synonymy of nominotypical platyrhynchos].
[Dickinson, 2003: 66, foot-note, who used “neoboria”].
Note: The fact that the name ends in the Latin adjective boreus (-a, -um) is an indication that “neoboria” was an inadvertent
error. Of the two original spellings, Browning (1978: 86) only used “neoboria”.
(75) noevia (p. 268) / naevia (p. 463) Daudin, 1800
We hereby act as FRs and select naevia (now naevius) as the correct original spelling. Fry (2001: 371) made
the mandatory change in the suffix due to gender because Coracias is masculine (ICZN 1956).
Coracias naevia, now Coracias naevius [Dickinson, 2003: 282].
Note: Peters (1945: 243) cited only “noevia” from p. “258” [i.e. 268] and used it without further comment. We are advised by
R.J. Dowsett that Clancey used “noevia” as sole author in 4 works in the period 1964-1996, and in 1980 as co-author used
naevia. Wolters (1976: 116), without further comment, used naevius but Fry (1988) used “naevia”. Fry (2001: 371) offered
reasons to use the spelling naevius but was apparently unaware that there were two original spellings and thus does not qualify
as First Reviser.
(76) rothschildi (pp. 331, 344) / rotschildi (p. 331, twice) von Zedlitz, 1911
We hereby act as FRs and select rothschildi as the correct original spelling.
Camaroptera brevicaudata rothschildi, now Camaroptera superciliaris (in synonymy see Traylor 1986: 190).
Overall Conclusions
Although we detect signs that retroactive effect was intended to be given to Art. 24.2.4, the only benefit we
see this provide is the potential for a shorter search for a First Reviser in a case previously unconsidered. Had
a register of First Reviser actions already been created this might have created a pause for deeper thought. We
have deliberately not examined family group names but we are aware that retroactive application of 24.2.4
might lead to a corrected spelling for the family of birds of paradise.
