Genus TROGON Brisson.

Trogon Brisson, Orn., i, 1760, 42; iv, 1760, 164, pl. 16, fig. 1. (Type, as fixed by Stone, Auk, xxiv, 1907, 192,[2] Trogon viridis Linnæus = T. strigilatus Linnæus.)
Aganus[3] Cabanis and Heine, Mus. Hein., iv, Feb., 1863, 184. (Type, by original designation, Trogon viridis Linnæus.[4])

Rather large Trogons, most like Curucujus in structure but differing in smaller size, more strongly graduated tail, with rectrices more truncated at tip, much white on lateral rectrices, and under parts yellow or (in one species only) reddish orange.

    Three adult males from Costa Rica 158.2 153.8 20.8 15.3 16.3
    Six adult males from Panamá 159.4 153.4 20.8 15 15.1
  2. "Type remains the same," i. e., as given in the American Ornithologists' Union's "Check List of North American Birds," second and revised edition (1895).
  3. "Von ? (freundlich, angenehm)." (Cabanis and Heine.)
  4. Not Aganus braccatus Cabanis and Heine, as given in Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. (xvii, 440), since the authors expressly say that the most typical species ("deren typischter Arten") is T. viridis.
    To what group the generic name Harpaleus Cabanis and Heine (Mus. Hein., iv, 1863, 185, footnote) was intended to apply can not be determined, no species being mentioned nor character given. In other words, the name is a nomen nudum.
