 Comments
       
  Comment: Priority of publication for the Scissor-tailed Kite belongs to Temminck, as it was first illustrated in his 1821 work, even though the binomial protonym Falco riocour was printed on the work's wrapper and not on the plate itself. Vieillot is often cited as the author, as he published a description in 1822
