Remessas de animais da Bahia, do Maranhão, do Espírito Santo e do Rio de Janeiro para as quintas reais de Lisboa (1762-1807)
Abstract
In previous articles the zoological material sent to Portugal from the Captaincies of Grão-Pará, Santa Catarina and Pernambuco was studied (repectively by Papavero & Teixeira, 2013a, 2013b and Almeida, Papavero & Teixeira, 2014). In this article, the last of the series, the vertebrates sent to Lisbon from the Captaincies of Bahia, Maranhão, Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro, fom 1762 to 1807, are considered. Of special interest is the existence of 92 popular names of birds constituting the oldest known citations (termini a quo), some of which could not be identified or only identified down to suprageneric categories.
