Origin: A borrowing from Maori. Etymon: Maori miro.

Etymology: < Maori miro tomtit; compare miro (verb) to twist, whirl, move spirally and miromiro n. Compare scientific Latin Miro, genus name (R. P. Lesson Traité d'Ornithol. (1831) 389).Although the Maori name is said to apply primarily to the North Island tomtit, Petroica macrocephala toitoi, the type species of Lesson's genus was Muscicapa longipes (now Petroica australis longipes), the North Island robin, and the scientific Latin name Miro therefore attaches to the robin.

Now rare.

A bird of the genus Miro (family Eopsaltridae), now usually regarded as a subgenus of the genus Petroica, containing the New Zealand robin, Petroica australis, and the Chatham Island robin, P. traversi. Also (occasionally): the New Zealand tomtit, P. macrocephala (cf. miromiro n.).

1855 R. Taylor Te Ika a Maui 403 The miro toi-toi (muscicapa toi-toi) is a bird not larger than the tom-tit. Its plumage is black and white.]

1898 E. E. Morris Austral Eng. 295 Miro (1), Maori name for a Robin..adopted as the scientific name of a genus of New Zealand Robins. The word is a shortened form of Miro-miro.

1930 W. R. B. Oliver N.Z. Birds 458 Genus Petroica..Distinguished from Miro by its smaller size.
