I think espiritrompa might be proboscis (when it comes to butterflies at least). And was the tilonorrinco referring to a bower bird?

Here is a link (in Spanish) that has a picture and description of a "tilonorrinco". Tilonorrinco

Thank goodness for Latin names, because I found that a tilonorrinco has the same Latin species name as the "Satin Bowerbird". This link is in English. Satin Bowerbird

This link is a dictionary reference in Spanish to the word "espiritrompa", which seems, as Kiwi-Girl said, to refer to the proboscis of a butterfly. Espiritrompa
