MmETA. 
Vigors and Horsfield simply changed the endhig, replacing the invalid name 
by Mimeta, and it is now a moot point whether the latter alteration is vahd. 
In order to avoid compKcations I introduced the new name Amimeta, so that 
if it be later considered necessary to reject Mimeta, a similarly formed substitute 
is available. Recently, the committee of the Systema Avium agreed that 
names of the same derivation differing only in the gender, i.e. -us, -a, -um, 
were to be regarded as homonyms, but the more intricate questions such as 
the present one were left over for fm-ther consideration.
