Usage notes edit

Two bird species, the Ryukyu robin (アカヒゲ (akahige), L. komadori) and the Japanese robin (コマドリ (komadori), L. akahige) were described by Swedish naturalist C.J. Temminck in 1835. Presumably, Temminck erred in using the Japanese name for each bird as the species name for the other.^[1]^[2]
