Normand David, Rick Wright, Andy Elliott, Thiago V. V. Costa, “Reasserting the valid name of the Curl-crested Aracari (Aves, Ramphastidae): Pteroglossus beauharnaisii Wagler, 1831”, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, vol. 77, pp. , 2020.

As demonstrated by Wright (2015), the Curl-crested Aracari was originally named  Pteroglossus beauharnaisii  by Wagler in 1831; in the following year, the same author used the subsequent combination  P. beauharnaesii  (Wagler, 1832). Based on the evidence, Wright concluded that the valid name of the taxon was  Pteroglossus beauharnaisii . Bock & Schodde....
