Genus OXYDOZYGA Tschudi 



1838. Oxijfjlossvs Tschudi, M6m. Soc. Sci. Nat. Neuchatel, vol. 2, p. 85 

 (monotype, O. lima Tschudi) (not of Swainson, 1828). 



1838. Oxydozyga " Kuhl " in " Tschudi, M§m. Soc. Sci. Nat. Neuchatel, 

 vol. 2, p. 85 (in synonymy of Owyglossus ; type 0. lima). 



1867. Phrynoglossus Peters, Mon. Ber. Berlin Akad. Wiss., 1867, p. 29 

 (type P. martensii Peters). 



1877. Microdiscopus Peters, Mon. Ber. Berlin Akad. Wiss., 1877, p. 421 

 (type M. sumatranus Peters). 



1916. Oxyglossis Smith, Journ. Nat. Hist. Soc. Siam, vol. 2, Dec. 1916, 

 p. 172 (err. typogr.). 



Unfortunately the well known genus name Oxyglossus of Tschudi 

 for this genus has to give way, as it was applied by Swainson ten 

 years earlier to a genus of birds.^^ However, Tschudi himself fur- 

 nished a substitute name of the same date by citing Kuhl's manu- 

 script name for the same material upon which Tschudi based his 

 genus and species.
