The Key to Scientific Names
- Chrysotrogon
(Trogonidae; syn. Trogon † Gartered Trogon T. caligatus) Gr. χρυσος khrusos gold; genus Trogon Brisson 1760, trogon; "Genus CHRYSOTROGON Ridgway. a Microtrogon (not of Bertoni, 1901) GOELDI, Bol. Mus. Goeldi, v, no. 1, Feb., 1908, 92, 93, 94, 95. (Type, Trogon ramoniana Deville and Des Murs.) ... a New genus. Type, Trogon caligatus Gould. From χρυσος, gold + Trogon (τρωγω, I gnaw, I eat)." (Ridgway 1911); "Chrysotrogon Ridgway, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 50, V, 1911, p. 784 (Type [by original designation] Trogon caligatus Gould)." (Cory, 1919, Cat. Birds Americas, Pt. II (2), p. 329). If Chrysotrogon Ridgway, 1911, is treated as a new name for Microtrogon Goeldi, 1908, not of Bertoni, 1901, its type would be Trogon ramoniana Deville and des Murs, 1849 (editor's preference).
