Editing Palmchat (section)

==Taxonomy==
In 1760 the French zoologist [[Mathurin Jacques Brisson]] included a description of the palmchat in his ''Ornithologie'' based on a specimen collected from the French colony of [[Saint-Domingue]], modern Haiti. He used the French name ''Le tangara de S. Dominigue'' and the Latin ''Tangara Dominicensis''.<ref name=brisson>{{ cite book | last=Brisson | first=Mathurin Jacques | author-link=Mathurin Jacques Brisson | year=1760 | title=Ornithologie, ou, Méthode contenant la division des oiseaux en ordres, sections, genres, especes & leurs variétés | volume=3 | language=French, Latin | place=Paris | publisher=Jean-Baptiste Bauche | pages=37–38, Plate 2 fig 4 | url=https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/35952986 }} The two stars (**) at the start of the section indicates that Brisson based his description on the examination of a specimen.</ref> Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the [[binomial nomenclature|binomial system]] and are not recognised by the [[International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature]].<ref name=allen>{{cite journal |last=Allen | first=J.A. | author-link=Joel Asaph Allen | year=1910 | title=Collation of Brisson's genera of birds with those of Linnaeus |journal=Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History |volume=28 | pages=317–335 | hdl=2246/678 }}</ref> When the Swedish naturalist [[Carl Linnaeus]] updated his ''[[Systema Naturae]]'' for the [[12th edition of Systema Naturae|twelfth edition]] in 1766, he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson,<ref name=allen/> with one of them being the palmchat.

The palmchat is the only species placed in the genus ''Dulus'' that was introduced by the French ornithologist [[Louis Pierre Vieillot]] in 1816.<ref>{{cite book | last=Vieillot  | first=Louis Pierre | author-link=Louis Pierre Vieillot | title=Analyse d'une Nouvelle Ornithologie Élémentaire | publisher=Deterville/self | year=1816 | location=Paris | page=42 | language=French| url=http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k9745205x/f48.image }}</ref><ref name=ioc>{{cite web| editor1-last=Gill | editor1-first=Frank | editor1-link=Frank Gill (ornithologist) | editor2-last=Donsker | editor2-first=David | year=2018 | title=Waxwings and allies, tits, penduline tits | work=World Bird List Version 8.1 | url=http://www.worldbirdnames.org/bow/waxwings/ | publisher=International Ornithologists' Union | access-date=16 May 2018 }}</ref> The species is [[monotypic]].<ref name=ioc/>
