"<i>Drymodes Brunneopygia</i>, Gould, Scrub-Robin. I discovered this singular bird in the great Murray Scrub in South [sc. Southern] Australia, where it was tolerably abundant. I have never seen it from any other part of the country, and it is doubtless confined to such portions of Australia as are clothed with a similar character of vegetation."
1895. W. O. Legge, `Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science' (Brisbane), p. 447:
"As regards portions of Gould's English nomenclatures, such as his general term `Robin' for the genera <i>Petroica, Paecilodryas</i>, <i>Eopsaltria</i>, it was found that by retaining the term `Robin' for the best known member of the group (<i>Petroica</i>), and applying a qualifying noun to the allied genera, such titles as Tree-robin, Scrub-robin, and Shrike-robin were easily evolved."
