Narina Trogon

Apaloderma narina   Bosloerie
Trogon Narina Stephens, 1815, in Shaw's Gen. Zool., 9(1):14; 'country of the Auteniquoi to the river Gamtoo', ie George, W Cape(ex Levaillant). narina (Khoikhoi) = flower, original name given by Levaillant (1807). Uncertain whether Levaillant's choice was because of its colourful plumage,or because the bird reminded him of a beautiful young Khoikhoi woman by the same name. That Stephens capitalised Narina suggests the latter.
1. A. n. narina; 2. A. n. rufiventre; 3. A. n. littorale.
