Translingual[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Lanii (“genitive of Lanius, shrike genus”) + -soma (“body”), from the supposed shrike-like appearance.
Proper noun[edit]
Laniisoma n
- A taxonomic genus within the family Tityridae – Laniisoma elegans, the shrike-like laniisoma, also known as the shrike-like cotinga or elegant mourner.
Usage notes[edit]
- The vernacular names are especially misleading or unhelpful, the bird not being very "shrike-like" and no longer being in genus Cotinga or family Cotingidae. The mourners are in several genera, not all in Tityridae.
