[Taxacom] Granatina

[Mary Barkworth]

It seems it comes down to “IF the two genera are to be combined”, Uraeginthus  has priority (see biostor link in Rod’s response). Avibase seems to accept it but not worldbirdnames.org.  Almost like working with botanists….

Hi Mary,

From BHL and Nomenclature Zoologicus, the author is Sharp https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/8328345 (slightly complicated history of the name).

From BHL and Biostor, Harrison argued that Uraeginthus has priority

Harrison CJO (1962) The relative priority of the generic names Uraeginthus and Granatina. Bulletin of The British Ornithologists' Club 82: 171-172. Retrieved from http://biostor.org/reference/113138

I can’t help with whether the names are synonyms or not.

Regards,

Rod
