DEFINITIONS
UROCYNCHRAMUS
(Urocynchramidae; Ϯ Przhevalsky’s Rosefinch U. pylzowi) Gr. ουρα oura tail (i.e. long-tailed); genus Cynchramus Brisson 1760, bunting; "Urocynchramus, nov. gen. Rostrum Emberizae, cauda Uragi ... 173. Urocynchramus Pylzowi, nov. sp. ... cauda longa, gradata; rectricibus externis roseis, apice albo limbatis, quatuor mediis brunneis, fulvescente marginatis" (Przhevalsky 1876) (OD per Björn Bergenholtz); "Urocynchramus Przewalski, 1876, Mongol i Strana Tangut., 2, p. 99, pl. 15. Type, by monotypy, Urocynchramus Pylzowi Przewalski" (Paynter in Peters 1968, XIV, 266). The long-tailed Przhevalsky’s Rosefinch or Pink-tailed Bunting was formerly considered a bunting Emberizidae or a carpodacine rosefinch Fringillidae, but is now thought to be more closely related to the weavers Ploceidae and the waxbills Estrildidae.
