CommentType species: Philochortus neumanni MATSCHIE 1893: 30 is the type species of the genus Philochortus MATSCHIE 1893. 
EtymologyNamed after Professor Oskar Rudolph Neumann (1867-1946), a German ornithologist who collected in East Africa (1892-1894). Later in his life he moved to Chicago to escape Nazi persecution and worked at the Field Museum.

The genus is named after the Greek “philos” = lover, and “chortos” = grass, meaning grass-loving.
