Etymology
mul Lanii soma genitive of Lanius, shrike genus body, from the supposed shrike-like appearance.
Proper noun
1 n
genus family Tityridae Laniisoma elegans species, the laniisomas
Usage notes
The vernacular names are especially misleading or unhelpful, the bird not being very "shrike-like" and no longer being in genus Cotinga genus or family Cotingidae family. The mourners are in several genera, not all in Tityridae family.
