Blue Dacnis
The blue dacnis or turquoise honeycreeper (''Dacnis cayana'') is a small passerine bird. This member of the tanager family is found from Nicaragua to Panama, on Trinidad, and in South America south to Bolivia and northern Argentina. It is widespread and often common, especially in parts of its South American range. Taxonomy In 1760, the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the blue dacnis in his ''Ornithologie'' based on a specimen collected in Cayenne in French Guiana. He used the French name ''Le Pepit bleu de Cayenne'' and the Latin name ''Sylvia cayanensis caerulea''. The two stars (**) at the start of the paragraph indicates that Brisson based his description on the examination of a specimen. Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the Binomial nomenclature, binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his ''Syste ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
