the scarlet finch ( carpodacus sipahi ) is a small passerine bird in the finch family fringillidae .

it is found in the himalayas from central nepal eastwards to vietnam and is found spottily in the adjacent hills of northeast india and southeast asia as far south as thailand .

it is resident in the himalayas , but many birds winter to the immediate south .

its natural habitat is temperate forests .

it was described by the british naturalist brian houghton hodgson in 1836 under the binomial name corythus sipahi .

the species name sipahi comes from the hindi word sipāhi for a soldier .

the scarlet finch was formerly placed in the monotypic genus haematospiza but was moved to the rosefinch genus carpodacus based on the results of molecular phylogenetic studies .

justification : this species has a very large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be stable , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but the species is described as scarce or uncommon ( clement 1999 ) . trend justification : the population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats .

the squirrel cuckoo ( piaya cayana ) is a large and active species of cuckoo found in wooded habitats from northwestern mexico to northern argentina and uruguay , and on trinidad .

some authorities have split off the western mexican form as the mexican squirrel-cuckoo ( piaya mexicana ) .

squirrel cuckoo

squirrel cuckoo ( piaya cayana ) is a species of bird in the cuculidae family .
flight : squirrel cuckoo is able to catch flying insects , performing short fluttering flights . when foraging in trees , among foliage , it crosses open spaces between trees by gliding . squirrel cuckoo is able to perform sustained flights .
average lifespan : the lifespan of this squirrel cuckoo can’t be determined as the accurate one . but , normally the cuckoo birds can live from 4 - 6 years .
weight : the large squirrel cuckoo weighs around 95 - 120 grams ( 3 . 4 - 4 . 2 oz )
range : squirrel cuckoo lives in mexico and central america , and in south america from peru to north argentina and uruguay .
yes ! i once saw a squirrel cuckoo hopping in a tree in ecuador and will never forget it . a magical bird !
click the button below to add the schneider 1 day bird leaf and squirrel cuckoo clock - 89 / 11 to your wish list .
squirrel cuckoo appears to be quite tolerant among human disturbances , untill the wooden land remains . this type of cuckoo is treated as the bold and conspicuous one compare to other cuckoos all over the world .
all these colors make the squirrel cuckoo as the colorful bird . because of this reason most of the tourists of costa rica prefers to see this bird when they visit . the color variation and the plumage separate this species into 14 subspecies . two main subspecies of squirrel cuckoo are ,
1 - day bird , leaf and squirrel cuckoo clock with hand carved squirrels , rugula 25 movement with a cuckoo call on the full and half hours , manual shut - off switch for strike and call , dial hands and cuckoo in wood . height is 9 inches ( 23 cm )
protection / threats / status : squirrel cuckoo’s populations are not globally threatened . this species is common or very common in most parts of its wide range .
the squirrel cuckoo is the most common and widespread of all new world cuckoos . wherever this cuckoo occurs , it never fails to be center of attention , even for those who don’t pay much attention to nature and birds .
mangrove cuckoo : call is a thick , throaty , and squirrel - like

seeing a squirrel cuckoo on your next trip south of the border is nearly guaranteed . seeing one fly across a clearing in the forest is an image to remember !
its feeding behaviour makes it very similar to red squirrel . squirrel cuckoo hops along branches , through foliage , in bounding leaps . it hops from branch to branch ; it also runs along limbs as a squirrel , and glides with bursts of shallow wing beats for crossing open spaces . it forages in foliage , gleaning insects on leaves . it can also catch flying insects with fluttering flight . squirrel cuckoo is resident in its range . it is not brood parasite of other bird’s species . it builds a nest and rears its young .
folia parasitologica : cucolepis cincta gen . n . et sp . n . ( cestoda : cyclophyllidea ) from the squirrel cuckoo piaya cayana lesson ( aves : cuculiformes ) from paraguay
although cuckoo spends almost nine months in africa , it never sings while there .
cuckoo does not build its own nests , because it is a brood parasite . that means that female cuckoo uses nests of other birds to lay her own eggs .
diet : squirrel cuckoo feeds mainly on large insects , cicadas , wasps and caterpillars ( green or with hair or spines ) , and sometimes spiders and small lizards . it rarely takes fruits .
squirrel cuckoos are large arboreal cuckoos with a very long , graduated tail . the upperparts are rufous brown ; the throat and breast are buffy ; and the belly is light gray . the long tail is rufous above but the undersides of the rectrices are blackish , with broad white tips . the name ' squirrel cuckoo ' comes from their coloration and the fact that their movements in trees resemble those of a squirrel at first glance .
emily , it is due to the long tail . the bird with that long tail looks like a squirrel in a tree .
low guttural gaw - gaw - gaw - gaw - gaw , almost like a soft bark or the scolding of a squirrel .
20 % of cuckoo ' s eggs will be recognized as foreign eggs and eliminated from the nest .
mangrove cuckoo : yellow - billed and black - billed cuckoos have white underparts and lack black masks .
breeding / reproduction : the breeding season of squirrel cuckoo varies depending on the place . the first thing is to build the nest . both the male and female birds involve in forming the nest . they make the nest probably with fresh leaves or with sticks and leaves . the foundation of nest is made by sticks and twigs . the male squirrel cuckoo is responsible for bringing the things needed for forming the nest and the female bird forms the nest according to the convenient .
the squirrel cuckoos ( piaya cayana ) - also known as chestnut cuckoos or chestnut - billed cuckoos - are endemic to the americas .
behaviour : squirrel cuckoo feeds mainly on large insects which it takes off the foliage . it gleans in canopy and sub canopy , often in pairs , sometimes alone or in mixed groups . occasionally , it can follow army - ants swarms .
cuckoo has long and pointed wings and long and thin beak . while flying , it resembles to hawk .
we can find two similar species : black - bellied cuckoo , with grey head , red bill , yellow lores and blackish belly and vent ; little cuckoo , smaller , with cinnamon - chestnut underparts and shorter tail .
because of this if you visit costa rica next time , and then don’t forget to visit the national parks to get the pleasant moments of your life along with the squirrel cuckoo . they will rejuvenate your spirit and will bring happiness in your mood .
mangrove cuckoo : eats caterpillars , grasshoppers , moths , flies , and other insects ; forages in trees and shrubs .
diet : when you consider about this squirrel cuckoo it normally gets the prey as foliage one by quick lunge . it usually feeds on insects like wasps , cicadas and caterpillars including the one with stinging heads and wings . it occasionally eats spiders and lizards available in the forest . it rarely eats fruit and it catches the wasps by air through the excellent flight capacity of it . the group of squirrel cuckoo tries to attack the ants - column and takes off with the flushed prey of ants . sometimes they also search forage by roaming the forest .
squirrel cuckoo is the bird along with long tail and plumage that normally remembers the red squirrel , when it jumps over the tree . both sexes are similar in the shape and color . but the adult one has some different shapes and different colors . it has upper parts of the chestnuts as the rich one and the tail is tipped black and white . chin and throat of the adult squirrel cuckoo will be pale reddish on the lower parts . eyes have the bare yellow - green skin as the eye ring and with red in color . belly and breast of the bird are grey in color and there is black under tail coverts . legs and feet of this bird are pale bluish - grey .
the squirrel cuckoo is more often seen as it flies from tree to tree or across a clearing in the forest . it does not do this more frequently than other birds , but its long black tail and rufous wing seen in the air are such an attention - gette .
timing of the hatching is very important and female cuckoo closely observes routine and behavior of other birds . cuckoo ' s eggs need to hatch before other eggs so that the young cuckoos gain advantage over other chicks and ensure enough food for development .
size : this extremely long - tailed cuckoo is 40 . 5 - 50 centimeters ( 15 . 9 - 20 inches ) long
the cosmopolitan family cuculidae includes old and new world cuckoos . many of the old world cuckoos are brood parasites , laying their eggs in other birds nest . most new world cuckoos , including the squirrel cuckoo , are not brood parasites and build a nest and rear their young like most other birds .

cuckoo travels to africa each september to avoid cold periods and lack of food during the winter in temperate areas of europe and asia .
squirrel cuckoos primarily feed on insects , including caterpillars , walking sticks , grasshoppers , beetles , wasps , bees , army ants , cicadas , hemipteras , odonates and spiders .
squirrel cuckoos are common across most of their natural range , and they have adapted well to human - altered habitats . therefore , they are not currently at risk of extinction .
voice : sounds by xeno - canto squirrel cuckoo utters explosive “chik” followed by gruff “whrrr” . it also gives variations such as “chik - chik” , nasal “chek - e - rehr” , and loud “ch’kaow” . song is a prolonged series of sharp notes “pee’uk pee’uk…” or whistled notes “wheek wheek wheek…” mainly uttered in april - august .
they somewhat resemble the black - bellied cuckoo ( piaya melanogaster ) found in lowlands areas of northern and central south america east of the andes . however , the black - bellied cuckoo has a grey crown , red ( not greenish yellow ) bill , blue eye rings and blackish abdomen .
female cuckoo lays one egg in each nest . she usually lays between 12 and 22 eggs per season ( in 12 to 22 different nests ) .
cuckoos are named after onomatopoeic sound which they produce : ' cuck - oo , cuck - oo ' . even thought the whole family is named by this unique sound , only one cuckoo species ( common cuckoo ) is able to produce this sound . other species communicate by producing different types of sounds .
more than 120 species of birds can be tricked to raise young cuckoos as their own chicks , but 90 % of cuckoo ' s eggs are laid in the nests of reed warbler , meadow pipit and dunnock birds . cuckoo chooses nests with eggs that are the most similar to eggs that she is producing .

cuckoo is a bird of the cuculidae family . there are 54 species of cuckoo that can be found in the europe , asia , africa and australasia . only 2 of 54 species live in europe . cuckoo inhabits open areas , such as marshes , meadows and fields , but it can be also found in woodlands and alpine areas . they are not listed as endangered , but their number in certain areas declined as a result of habitat loss , decrease in number of birds which act as foster parents to young cuckoos and because of the climate changes ( which affect their migratory patterns and availability of food ) .
when you visit costa rica with your family or with your companion , then it would be better to watch the activities of this bird from the nationalized parks available in costa rica . you can find the bird in monteverde cloud forrest reserve , braulio carrillo national park , juan castro bianco national park and chirripo national park . if you go through these parks , then you can enjoy with your family because of the natural sceneries and the presence of squirrel cuckoo bird .

this cuckoo is also the most habitat generalist . it is found mature humid forest in amazonia , the humid foothill of the andes , dry and deciduous forests , second growth , coffee plantations , and just about any type of standing forest from mexico to argentina . it has several regional names and is the center of tales , but the most used name is sicua or shicua ; an onomatopoeic name after the cuckoo’s most common call .
description : squirrel cuckoo resembles red squirrel when moving along branches with its rufous plumage and its long tail . adult male has rich chestnut upperparts . long dark chestnut tail is tipped black and white . on the underparts , chin and throat are pale reddish . breast and belly are grey , darker on belly and flanks . undertail coverts are black . undertail is dark chestnut with white - tipped feathers . head is chestnut . down - curved , strong bill is yellow - green . eyes are red , with bare yellow - green skin as eye - ring . legs and feet are pale bluish - grey . both sexes are similar . juvenile resembles adults , but it is paler , and central tail feathers lack black tips above . bill is greyish . eyes are brown .
range : the squirrel cuckoo is mostly found in the neotropic eco zone of the world . the bird occurs from north to southern sonora and southern tamaulipas of north mexico , panama and costa rica of center american countries , south america , peru , south to northern argentina and east of the andes . this bird has very broad elevational distribution among these countries . other than america you can’t find this bird because it is endemic to america . among all these places , costa rica is treated as the best place to see this bird because of the best tourist infrastructure of this country .
mangrove cuckoo : two to three light blue eggs are laid in a nest made of twigs and leaves , and built from 8 to 10 feet above the ground in a mangrove tree or shrub . incubation ranges from 9 to 11 days and is carried out by both parents .
birders who seek the mangrove cuckoo in florida may have to contend with heat , humidity , mosquitoes , and long hours of searching . this bird is a shy denizen of dense mangrove swamps , living in impenetrable tangles , where its presence is often betrayed only by its throaty calls .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
del hoyo , j . , collar , n . j . , christie , d . a . , elliott , a . and fishpool , l . d . c . 2014 . hbw and birdlife international illustrated checklist of the birds of the world . volume 1 : non - passerines . lynx edicions birdlife international , barcelona , spain and cambridge , uk .
piaya cayana and p . mexicana ( del hoyo and collar 2014 ) were previously lumped as p . cayana following sibley and monroe ( 1990 , 1993 ) .
justification : this species has an extremely large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be stable , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size is extremely large , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
partners in flight estimated the total population ( prior to the split of p . mexicanus ) to number 5 , 000 , 000 - 50 , 000 , 000 individuals ( a . panjabi in litt . 2008 ) . trend justification : the population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats .

habitat : it is the bird that mostly lives in the forested habitats of countries throughout the america . you can find them in the humid forest , semi humid forest , plantations , deciduous forest , forest edges and even on the scattered trees of an open country . normally it makes the residence in the tree as hidden dense vegetation of 1 - 12 m high .
in most of the countries it lives over some high . in mexico it can live up to 2000 m from the sea level , up to 2450 m in costa rica , regularly 1500 m in ecuador countries , over 1800 m in panama , usually below 1200 m in the north orinoco and 2500 m in venezuela .
they probably build two nests in the shape of cup . one nest sizes as 17 . 8 cm wide by 6 . 4 cm deep . another nest measures as an outer depth and inner diameter as 8 . 9 cm and outer diameter as 15 . 2 - 17 . 8 cm . the female bird normally lays 2 to 3 eggs , which are unmarked and chalky white in color . both birds would take care of the incubation over the period of 18 - 19 days . each takes the turn as 6 - 8 hours to incubate . they also take care of the cleaning of nests . every day they replace the leaves of nest by fresh leaves .
both parents would take care of feeding to their children . after eight days of incubation , the young one started to surround the branches of tree and then it get back to the nest .
• p . c . thermophila , which is available in costa rica of central america and eastern mexico . it is normally darkened overall with black and tipped with white in under tail
apart from these two subspecies , you can also find some subspecies in northern south america and western south america . these subspecies has the yellow eye ring that doesn’t remain in other subspecies available in other parts of south america .
if you think about the voice of this bird , there are different sounds you can hear from it . it explores the prolonged whistle notes in the voice normally in the season of april to august . it is also treated as the melodious voice that gives pleasant feeling to the people . this would also make the environment of parks of the costa rica as the best and enjoyable one .

adult : sexes similar . upperparts chestnut to rufous - chestnut , usually paler on the crown . remiges tipped with grayish brown . tail long , graduated . rectrices rufous - chestnut above with a broad white terminal spot and a black subterminal bar ; the underside of the rectrices primarily brownish - black , with a broad terminal white spot . throat and breast cinnamon . belly gray , shading to slate to slaty black on the flanks , crissum , and undertail coverts . underwing coverts light gray ; underside of remiges cinnamon - buff .
immature ( formative plumage ) : similar to adult , but rectrices ( retained from the juvenile or first basic plumage ) are narrower , with more pointed tips , and ( especially on the central pair ) the white tips and the black subterminal bar are reduced in size .
juvenile ( first basic plumage ) : similar to adult , but the plumages is more lax and fluffy , and the throat is a little grayer . the rectrices are narrower , with more pointed tips , and ( especially on the central pair ) the white tips and the black subterminal bar are reduced in size .
definitive basic plumage is acquired by a complete prebasic molt . in el salvador , the onset of this molt is variable , but the molt primarily is july - september .
prealternate molt , which in el salvador occurs in feburary - march , is incomplete . the extent of this molt is not documented . the first prealternate molt also is described as more extensive than the definitive prealternate molt .
formative plumage is acquired by an incomplete preformative molt . juvenile ( first basic ) rectrices and remiges are retained .
iris : carmine red , dark red ( ridgway 1916 , haverschmidt 1968 , wetmore 1968 ) .
the color of the bare orbital skin is geographically variable ; generally , the eyering is yellowish green from mexico south to northern and northwestern south america , and is red from northern south america , east of the andes , south to south central south america . the eyering is yellowish green to light olive - green from mexico south to northwestern south america west of the andes ( subspecies mexicana , thermophila , and nigricrissa ; ridgway 1916 , wetmore 1968 , howell and webb 1995 , ridgely and greenfield 2001b , schulenberg et al . 2007 ) . the eyering color in northern colombia and northwestern and northern venezuela ( subspecies mehleri , circe ) apparently also is yellow ( restall et al . 2006 ) , as it in trindidad ( insulana ; ffrench 1991 ) . from venezuela south of the orinoco , apparently south to the southern end of the distribution , the bare orbital skin is crimson ( haverschmidt 1968 , wetmore 1968 , belton 1984 , hilty and brown 1986 , ridgely and greenfield 2001b , hilty 2003 , schulenberg et al . 2007 ) .
total length : 40 - 46 cm ( wetmore 1968 ) , 40 . 5 - 46 cm ( ridgely and greenfield 2001b ) , 40 . 5 - 50 cm ( howell and webb 1995 ) , 43 cm ( hilty and brown 1986 , hilty 2003 )
mass : male , mean 104 . 0 g ( range 73 . 0 - 137 . 0 , n = 33 , taxa not specified ; payne 2005 ) ; female , mean 100 . 3 g ( range 76 . 0 - 129 . 4 g , n = 28 , taxa not specified ; payne 2005 )
subspecies thermophila : males , mean 99 . 4 g ( ± 9 . 0 g , range 89 . 2 - 111 g , n = 7 ; belize , russell 1964 ) ; female , 103 g ( belize , russell 1964 ) .
subspecies insulata : males , mean 92 . 8 g ( range 90 - 95 . 5 g , n = 2 ; junge and mees 1958 ) ; females , mean 97 g ( range 94 - 100 g , n = 2 ; junge and mees 1958 ) .
these birds were named for their similarities with squirrels - both in their body color as well as their movement in trees that resemble those of squirrels moving up and down the trunk of trees .
the subspecies vary in the coloration of their underparts , throats , tails and eye - rings ( red in the more northern populations and yellow in southern parts ) .
range : northeastern colombia east of the gulf of urabá to magdalena valley and along the western slope of east andes , east in coastal venezuela to the paria peninsula .
range : brazil south of the amazon , from santarem to the amazon delta , and coast of northern maranhão .
these birds are quite distinctive throughout their range and are unlikely to be confused , except by the casual observers .
they also resemble the little cuckoos , but those are smaller in size and have darker throats .
there is one report of one bird killing a frog , but then abandoned it - maybe because of its large size .
they typically forage in the mid - story and canopy . flying insects may be caught in mid - air .

cuckoos are birds of the medium size . they can reach 12 . 6 to 14 . 1 inches in length and weight up to 2 . 1 ounces .
males and females can be distinguished by the color of their feathers . upper parts of the males are bluish to gray , and their white bellies are intersected with dark lines . some females may look like males , except that they have buff colored breast with dark lines . other types of females are reddish brown or covered with dark bars completely . young cuckoos are slate - gray and reddish brown in color .
characteristic ' cuck - oo , cuck - oo ' sound is produced only by males . females produce bubbling sound , which resembles the sound of the water that is running out of the tub after removing the plug .
young cuckoos are very aggressive toward other chicks in the nest and they will often remove them from the nest as soon as they hatch . when they are several weeks old , young cuckoos are ready to fly to africa along with their parents .

probably declining in florida keys as habitat is lost to development , but may be expanding north slightly along coast . still widespread in caribbean and elsewhere in tropics .
in our area , mostly in mangroves . in florida , lives in mangrove swamps and in groves of tropical hardwoods on the keys and the southern mainland . elsewhere in range , found in mangroves and in various kinds of scrubby woods , including dry forest far from water .
forages rather slowly and deliberately among mangroves or other dense growth , peering about , sometimes making short leaps or flutters to take insects from the foliage .
2 , sometimes 3 . pale blue - green , fading to greenish yellow . incubation is probably by both parents ; incubation period not well known . young : development of young and age at first flight not well known . probably fed by both parents , as in other cuckoos .
development of young and age at first flight not well known . probably fed by both parents , as in other cuckoos .
mostly insects . diet not known in detail . as with other cuckoos , seems to eat many caterpillars . also feeds on grasshoppers , praying mantises , moths , flies , and other insects ; also some spiders and small frogs , and probably some berries and small fruits .
breeding behavior is not well known . male gives low , throaty song in spring , presumably to defend territory and attract a mate . nest : so far as known , site is in mangrove or other low tree , usually fairly low over the water or ground ( probably lower than 10 ' in most cases ) , among dense foliage . nest is a flimsy platform of sticks .
migratory status in florida uncertain . recorded at all seasons and thought to be permanent resident , but more conspicuous in summer . rare stray from mexico north into texas and gulf coast .

in the broadest and most detailed study of its kind , audubon scientists have used hundreds of thousands of citizen - science observations and sophisticated climate models to predict how birds in the u . s . and canada will react to climate change .
the darker the color , the more favorable the climate conditions are for survival . the outlined areas represent approximate current range for each season .
each map is a visual guide to where a particular bird species may find the climate conditions it needs to survive in the future . we call this the bird’s “climatic range . ”
the darker the shaded area , the more likely it is the bird species will find suitable climate conditions to survive there .
the outline of the approximate current range for each season remains fixed in each frame , allowing you to compare how the range will expand , contract , or shift in the future .
the first frame of the animation shows where the bird can find a suitable climate today ( based on data from 2000 ) . the next three frames predict where this bird’s suitable climate may shift in the future—one frame each for 2020 , 2050 , and 2080 .
you can play or pause the animation with the orange button in the lower left , or select an individual frame to study by clicking on its year .
the darker the color , the more favorable the climate conditions are for survival . the outlined areas represent approximate current range for each season . more on reading these maps .

protorthodes mexicana is a moth in the noctuidae family .

it is found in mexico ( jalapa ) .

the length of the forewings is about 12 mm .

the forewings are pale whitish buff brown with a dusting of pale-brown scales .

the subbasal , antemedial and postmedial lines are very faint and indicated by paler lines bordered on each side by scattered pale-brown scales .

the subterminal line is more distinct because of darker shading in the terminal area and the outer part of the subterminal area adjacent to it .

the reniform and orbicular spots are slightly darker than the ground color and are outlined in white .

the terminal area is darker than the remainder of the forewing because of more numerous grey-brown scales .

the hindwings are white with a trace of darker scaling on the veins and the wing margin .

adults have been recorded on wing in late april .

compiled from kelly richers ' california moth specimen database . kelly has been compiling the database since 1996 from literature sources , museum collections , and ( i believe ) novel collections . these lists are probably not comprehensive ( if such a thing is possible for such a diverse group of organisms ) , but given kelly ' s dedication and the degree of sampling in the state , it ' s probably pretty close at the state and regional level , and approaching that degree at the county level , and thus i have marked them as comprehensive on inat . all errors are my own , and if you find any , please let me know .
many of the names in the cmsd have not bee included in the inat lists i ' ve created . i have tried to import every name from the catalogue of life , bugguide , and ubio , so any names that are still missing are not present in those sources . i have also tried to manually check the remainder against urltoken , i ' ve tried to manually add any taxa that have a species page on mpg , and i ' ve checked for simple misspellings of the kind the google can catch . for the remainder , here are some of the reasons the names are missing :
taxonomic ambiguity : sometimes a name was clearly in use in the past but i can ' t tell how it maps to a current name .
many names in the cmsd have specific epithets that exist in other , unrelatd genera , e . g .
acrolophus inquinatus ,
which may be mistaken entry for hellinsia inquinatus . i have not included these names in an effort to minimize assumptions about the collectors ' intents .
a full listing of all the names i was not able to import can be found here .
