THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA. 
recently re-named. As this is also the genus name of the two first- 
named species it seems proper to supersede it. I, therefore^ designate 
“ hichenovii Vig.” as type of Steganopleura Bonaparte, and this name will 
displace Stizoptera Oberholser 1899 of my “List” 1913, p. 299. 
I here propose Tavistocka for Loxia guttata Shaw, and this name must 
be used for Stagonopleura “ Reichenb. ” of my “ List ” 1913, p. 297. 
The reason of the confusion is traced to Cabanis, who in the Mus. 
Hein., Vol. I., p. 172 (after Oct. 23, 1851) used Stagonopleura Reichenb, 
1850 for this species, claiming that Bonaparte’s usage was of this kind. 
Gray in the Cat. Gen. Subgen. Birds, p. 76, 1855, followed Cabanis, and this 
usage has commonly prevailed, but it is impossible to uphold it any longer. 
So we have — 
Tavistocka guttata and Steganopleura hichenovii 
Tavistocka guttata guttata Steganopleura hichenovii pallescens 
Tavistocka guttata philordi Steganopleura hichenovii handi 
Steganopleura hichenovii annulosa
