tyrannula

Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia

1. n. A genua of tyrannuline flycatchers, the type of which is T. barbata. It has been loosely used for many small olivaceous species now distributed in different genera. Owing to its similarity to the name Tyrannulus of prior date, it is now disused, the species properly belonging to Tyrannula being called Myiobius.
2. n. A small tyrant-flycatcher of the above or some related genus; a tyrannuline.
