The name Ampelis cincta is usually attributed to Boddaert who, 
however, proposed no such title. The next in priority is A. superbus 
of Shaw, but as this name was suggested solely on account of certain 
orange-coloured spots produced by the application of heat to the purple 
under-plumage of a bird, which that author a few pages before rightly 
considered to be A. cotinga Linn., I think we may fairly be dispensed 
from the necessity of calling this species Cotinga superba. Kuhl’s title 
is applied to Le Cotinga du Bresil of D’Aubenton (PI. Enl. 188).
