1) Regulus cristatus Vieillot, Ois. Amér. sept. Vol. 2, pe p. 50, pl. 106, cannot be used for any species of the genus, 
being a mixtum compositum of R. r. regulus, R. y. satrapa and R. t. tgnicapillus. Plate and description seem to have been taken 
from an example of the last-named species, while the name R. cyistatus is proposed as a substitute of Linné’s term regulus 
employed by Vieillot in generic sense. Moreover, the author considered the North American form (R. y. satrapa) to be the 
same as the European one (R. r. regulus).
