DEFINITIONS

LEONARDINA
(Pellorneidae; Ϯ Bagobo Babbler L. woodi) Maj.-Gen. Leonard Wood (1860-1927) US Army, Gov.-Gen. of the Philippines 1906-1908; "The generic name Leonardia proposed by me for this genus, on page 1 of this volume, is preoccupied by Leonardia TAPPARONE-CANEFRI, Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, ser. 2, Vol. VII, 1890, p. 332, for a genus of marine slugs, and is here changed to Leonardina." (Mearns 1905). The relationships of this bird are uncertain; it may belong in the Muscicapidae, hence the alternative name of Bagobo Robin.
Synon. Leonardia.
