Taxonomy

The genus was first created by Carl L. Koch in 1848, and given the name Triclaria. However, this name was already in use for a genus of parrots, and in 1869, Tord T.T. Thorell proposed the replacement name Trechalea. The name is derived from the Greek τρηχαλέος, meaning "rough" or "savage".
