メジロムシクイ • (mejiro mushikui) 

  1. the Orphean warblers, Sylvia crassirostris (eastern Orphean warbler) and Sylvia hortensis (western Orphean warbler), two species of birds
    • 1994, Yamauchi Hisashi, “Shoku” no rekishi jinruigaku [Historical anthropology of “foodstuff”], page 169:
      フィケドラというのはよくわからないが、英(えい)訳(やく)では beccafico(ベッカフィコ) となっているので、オナガムシクイかメジロムシクイのことかもしれない。
      Fikedora to iu no wa yoku wakaranai ga, Eiyaku de wa bekkafiko to natteiru no de, onaga mushikui ka mejiro mushikui no koto kamoshirenai.
      I am uncertain about fiquedora, but the English translation is “beccafico”, so it is likely the Dartford warbler or Orphean warbler.
