● "G. FLUVICOLA, Swains.   ...    8. F. Œnanthoides, Nob.  Ad Saxicolæ œnanthe fæminam hæc species coloribus proxime accedit; sed plumis longioribus et laxissimis distinguitur.  ...  Hab. la Paz, in Bolivia." (d'Orbigny & de La Fresnaye 1837) (Ochthoeca).
●  "SAXICOLA ŒNANTHOÏDES.  n. s.   ...   The Wheatear of Europe has not as yet been recorded as having been found in the New World.  I should otherwise have been inclined to refer this bird to that species, so similar are the general characters of both, the chief apparent difference being in their size.  There are two specimens in the collection, but they are not in sufficiently good condition to enable me to enter minutely into their characters, or make a very accurate comparison between them and our own species.  It is upon their relative size, and their locality, chiefly, that I at present suggest their differing as species." (Vigors 1839) (syn. Oenanthe oenanthe).
