Black-breasted Puffbird
The black-breasted puffbird (''Notharchus pectoralis'') is a species of bird in the family Bucconidae, the puffbirds, nunlets, and nunbirds. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama. Taxonomy and systematics The black-breasted puffbird is monotypic. It is closely related to the brown-banded puffbird (''N. ordii'') and some authors have proposed that they form a superspecies.Remsen, J. V., Jr., J. I. Areta, E. Bonaccorso, S. Claramunt, A.

Notarchus Macrorhynchus - Guianan Puffbird; Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil
''Notarchus'' is a genus of sea slugs or sea hares, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Aplysiidae, the sea hares.Bouchet, P. (2012). Notarchus Cuvier, 1817. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=204962 on 11 June 2012 Description The parapodia (fleshy winglike outgrowths) of ''Notarchus'' are almost completely fused, forming the parapodial cavity. Life habits These sea hares are able to swim by jet propulsion, through sucking in water through the small anterior opening of the parapodial cavity and then squirting water from the back of it. While doing so, they tumble and make a series of backward somersaults. In this unusual manner, they move quickly out of harm's way over short distances. Species Species within the genus ''Notarchus'' include: *'' Notarchus indicus'' Schweigger, 1820 : Indian sea hare **Distribution : in shallow waters of NW Indian Ocean, NW Pacific, Mediterranean. **Des ...

Pied Puffbird
The pied puffbird (''Notharchus tectus'') is a species of bird in the family Bucconidae, the puffbirds, nunlets, and nunbirds. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Taxonomy and systematics The pied puffbird was described by the French polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in 1780 in his ''Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux'' from a specimen collected in Cayenne, French Guiana. The bird was also illustrated in a hand-colored plate engraved by François-Nicolas Martinet in the ''Planches Enluminées D'Histoire Naturelle'' that was produced under the supervision of Edme-Louis Daubenton to accompany Buffon's text. Neither the plate caption nor Buffon's description included a scientific name but in 1783 the Dutch naturalist Pieter Boddaert coined the binomial name ''Bucco tectus'' in his catalogue of the ''Planches Enluminées''. The pied puffbird is now placed in the genus ' ...

Pied Puffbird - Ecuador
A piebald or pied animal is one that has a pattern of unpigmented spots (white) on a pigmented background of hair, feathers or scales. Thus a piebald black and white dog is a black dog with white spots. The animal's skin under the white background is not pigmented. Location of the unpigmented spots is dependent on the migration of melanoblasts (primordial pigment cells) from the neural crest to paired bilateral locations in the skin of the early embryo. The resulting pattern appears symmetrical only if melanoblasts migrate to both locations of a pair and proliferate to the same degree in both locations. The appearance of symmetry can be obliterated if the proliferation of the melanocytes (pigment cells) within the developing spots is so great that the sizes of the spots increase to the point that some of the spots merge, leaving only small areas of the white background among the spots and at the tips of the extremities. Animals with this pattern may include birds, cats, cat ...

Buff-bellied Puffbird
The buff-bellied puffbird (''Notharchus swainsoni'') is a species of bird in the family Bucconidae, the puffbirds, nunlets, and nunbirds. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. Taxonomy and systematics During the second half of the twentieth century, the buff-bellied puffbird and what are now the white-necked puffbird (''N. hyperrhynchus'') and Guianan puffbird (''N. macrorhynchus'') were treated as conspecific. It is now treated as its own monotypic species.Remsen, J. V., Jr., J. I. Areta, E. Bonaccorso, S. Claramunt, A. Jaramillo, D. F. Lane, J. F. Pacheco, M. B. Robbins, F. G. Stiles, and K. J. Zimmer.

Guianan Puffbird
The Guianan puffbird (''Notharchus macrorhynchos'') is a species of bird in the family Bucconidae, the puffbirds, nunlets, and nunbirds. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. It was formerly considered to be conspecific with the white-necked puffbird and the buff-bellied puffbird with the English name "white-necked puffbird". Taxonomy and systematics The Guianan puffbird was formally described in 1788 by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin in his revised and expanded edition of Carl Linnaeus's ''Systema Naturae''. He placed it in the genus '' Bucco'' and coined the binomial name ''Bucco macrorhynchos''. Gmelin based his description on the ''Tamatias noirs et blancs'' or ''Barbu à gros bec, de Cayenne'' that had been described and illustrated in 1780 by the French polymath the Comte de Buffon. Buffon's specimen had been sent to Paris from Cayenne by Monsieur Duval. The Guianan puffbird is now placed in the genus '' Notharchus'' t ...
