Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Mesia.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Mesia, former genus name (B. H. Hodgson 1838, in India Rev. 2 88), of uncertain origin (Hodgson asserts that his other coinages Suthora and Minla are from Nepali names, but does not give any information as to the origin of Mesia).

In full silver-eared mesia. A songbird, Leiothrix argentauris (family Timaliidae), of South-East Asia, the male of which has red and yellow plumage with a black and white head (also called silver-eared leiothrix). Formerly also (in form Mesia): the monotypic genus comprising this bird.

1838 B. H. Hodgson in India Rev. 2 90 Our genus Mesia is but provisional, and, of course, its subgeneric divisions.

1862 J. Gould Birds Asia (1883) IV. pl. 16 Leiothrix Argentauris. Silver-eared Leiothrix... This bird has so many characters in common with the type of the genus Leiothrix (L. luteus), that I am inclined to associate it with that bird, rather than to adopt the generic term of Mesia, proposed for it by Mr. Hodgson.

1909 H. H. Harington Birds Burma 19 The Silver-Eared Mesia. Is one of our handsomest small birds, being found in all hill districts.

1958 E. T. Gilliard Living Birds of World 326/2 One very colorful species [of babbling thrush] is the Silver-eared Leiothrix or Mesia..which is very widespread in the Oriental region.

1991 Avicultural Mag. 97 118 The Silver-eared Mesia Leiothrix argentauris is a close relative of the slightly smaller and more common avicultural subject the Pekin Robin.

1994 Bird Keeper May 56/2 The female Silver-eared Mesia differs from the male in having an orange-buff rump and tail coverts and lacks the overall brightness of the male.
