- Reginopus
(Columbidae; syn. Ptilinopus † Rose-crowned Fruit Dove P. regina ewingii) Portmanteau of specific name Ptilinopus regina Swainson, 1825 (cf. “Regina, a queen; opus, a work (the work of a queen). (Mathews, MS)” (Richmond 1917); this does not accord with Mathews’s unusual reasonings and methods of coining fresh names); "REGINOPUS, gen. nov. Type, Ptilinopus ewingii Gould" (Mathews 1913); "Reginopus Mathews, 1913, Austral Avian Record, II (4), p. 73. Type, by original designation, Ptilinopus ewingii Gould, 1842." (JAJ 2021).
