page\u00a0 155, Asian Drongo-Cuckoo Surniculus lugubris<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

Asian Drongo-Cuckoo (Surniculus lugubris<\/i>) is split into three species. Recent authorities agree in general with this split (Rasmussen and Anderton 2005, Payne 2005, Erritz\u00f8e et al. 2012), but differ on the details of the composition of each newly recognized species. Our arrangement follows Erritz\u00f8e et al. (2012), but note that the taxonomy, and distributions, of these taxa remain poorly known. The three newly recognized species are:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Square-tailed Drongo-Cuckoo (Surniculus lugubris<\/i>, with subspecies lugubris<\/i> and barussarum<\/i>)<\/p>\n

Following Payne (2005) and Erritz\u00f8e et al. (2012) (and Peters 1940), we recognize barussarum<\/i> (which was not included in earlier editions of the eBird\/Clements checklist) as a subspecies, and merge brachyurus<\/i> into barussarum<\/i> (following Erritz\u00f8e et al. 2012, but not Payne 2005). The range of subspecies barussarum<\/i> is “Himalayas from Kashmir east to northeastern India and Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand south through the Malay Peninsula to Sumatra, Borneo, and Palawan”.<\/p>\n

Revise the range of subspecies Surniculus lugubris lugubris<\/i> from “Coastal sw India, Sri Lanka, Java and Bali” to “Java and Bali”.<\/p>\n

Rinjani Scops-Owl (Otus jolandae<\/i>) is a recently described species that is endemic to Lombok, in the Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia. Previously this population was included within Otus magicus albiventris<\/i>, a subspecies of Moluccan Scops-Owl, but Rinjani Scops-Owl differs vocally and in morphology (Sangster et al. 2013). The relationships of Rinjani Scops-Owl are not known; provisionally this new species is placed immediately following Moluccan Scops-Owl (Otus magicus<\/i>).<\/p>\n

page 174, Philippine Hawk-Owl Ninox philippensis<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

In accord with recent literature, we standardize the group name for most species of Ninox<\/i> owls as “boobook” (rather than “hawk-owl”). Rasmussen et al. (2012) revised the boobooks (Ninox<\/i>) of the Philippines, splitting Philippine Hawk-Owl (Ninox philippensis<\/i>) into five species, and describing two new species:<\/p>\n

Luzon Boobook Ninox philippensis<\/i>, which includes as subspecies philippensis, ticaoensis<\/i>, and centralis<\/i><\/p>\n

Subspecies proxima<\/i>, with range “Masbate and Ticao”, no longer is recognized (Rasmussen et al. 2012). The population on Masbate is included in Ninox philippensis philippensis<\/i>, while the birds on Ticao are recognized as a separate subspecies (duPont 1972; see below). Revise the range of Ninox philippensis philippensis<\/i> from “Leyte, Luzon, Marinduque, Samar, Polillo and Catanduanes” to “Philippines (Luzon, Panay, Negros, Bohol, Samar, and Leyte, and associated smaller islands: Bilaran, Boracay, Buad, Carabao, Catanduanes, Guimaras, Lubang, Marinduque, Masbate, Polillo, and Semirara)”. Add subspecies Ninox philippensis ticaoensis<\/i> duPont 1972, with range “Philippines (Ticao)”. Revise the range of subspecies Ninox philippensis centralis<\/i> from “Philippines (Guimaras, Negros, Panay and Siquijor)” to “Philippines (Siquijor)”.<\/p>\n

page 298, <\/b>Long-tailed Antbird Drymophila caudata<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

The polytypic Long-tailed Antbird (Drymophila caudata<\/i>) is split into four species; this follows SACC Proposal 542<\/a>, which is based on Isler et al. (2012). The nominate subspecies, Drymophila caudata caudata<\/i>, is recognized as a monotypic species, with a range of “eastern Andes of Colombia”. In accord with SACC (Proposal 567<\/a>) the common name of Drymophila caudata<\/i> is changed from Long-tailed Antbird to East Andean Antbird. Addionally:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Drymophila caudata klagesi<\/i> becomes Klages\u2019s Antbird (Drymophila klagesi<\/i>).<\/p>\n

Drymophila caudata aristeguietana<\/i> is a synonym of klagesi<\/i>, and so subspecies aristeguietana<\/i> no longer is recognized. Revise the range of Klage’s Antbird from “Mts. of n Colombia and n Venezuela” to “Andes of northeastern Colombia (Norte de Santander), the Serrania de Perija (Colombia\/Venezuela), and Andes and coastal mountains of Venezuela”.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Drymophila caudata hellmayri<\/i> becomes Santa Marta Antbird (Drymophila hellmayri<\/i>).<\/p>\n

Revise the range of Santa Marta Antbird from “NE Colombia (Santa Marta Mts.) and e slope of E Andes” to “northern Colombia (Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta)”.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The populations distributed from central Colombia south to Bolivia become known as Streak-headed Antbird (Drymophila striaticeps<\/i>).<\/p>\n

Four subspecies of Steak-headed Antbird, each of which previously had been treated as synonyms of Drymophila caudata<\/i> (East Andean Antbird), are reinstated:<\/p>\n

Drymophila striaticeps striaticeps<\/i> Chapman 1912, with range “western and central Andes of Colombia, south to Cauca”.<\/p>\n

Drymophila striaticeps occidentalis<\/i> Domaniewski and Stolcman 1922, with range “southwestern Colombia (Nari\u00f1o) south through Ecuador (both slopes of the Andes) to northeastern Peru (San Mart\u00edn)”.<\/p>\n

Drymophila striaticeps peruviana<\/i> Domaniewski and Stolcman 1922, with range “east slope of Andes of central Peru (Hu\u00e1nuco to Cuzco)”.<\/p>\n

Drymophila striaticeps boliviana<\/i> Carriker 1935, with range “east slope of Andes of southern Peru (Puno) and northern Bolivia (La Paz)”.<\/p>\n

Immaculate Antbird (Mymeciza immaculata<\/i>) is split into two species, following NACC (Chesser et al. 2013) and SACC (Proposals 541<\/a> and 583<\/a>), in turn based on Donegan (2012). The two northern subspecies, zeledoni<\/i> and macrorhyncha<\/i>, are separated as Zeledon’s Antbird (Myrmeciza zeledoni<\/i>). The three southern subspecies, brunnea<\/i>, immaculata<\/i>, and concepcion<\/i>, become known as Blue-lored Antbird (Myrmeciza immaculata<\/i>).<\/p>\n

With the split of Immaculate Antbird into two species, the names for the group Immaculate Antbird (Central American) (Myrmeciza immaculata zeledoni<\/i>) change to Zeledon’s Antbird (Zeledon’s) (Myrmeciza zeledoni zeledoni<\/i>); and the names for the group Immaculate Antbird (Choco) (Myrmeciza immaculata macrorhyncha<\/i>) change to Zeledon’s Antbird (Choco) (Myrmeciza zeledoni macrorhyncha<\/i>).<\/p>\n

With the change of the English name for Immaculate Antbird (Myrmeciza immaculata<\/i>), the English name for the group Myrmeciza immaculata immaculata\/brunnea<\/i> changes from Immaculate Antbird (Andean) to Blue-lored Antbird (Andean); and the English name for the group Myrmeciza immaculata concepcion<\/i> changes from Immaculate Antbird (Concepcion) to Blue-lored Antbird (Concepcion).<\/p>\n

Stone Partridge (Ptilopachus petrosus<\/i>) traditionally has been classified as a member of Phasianidae (Pheasants, Grouse, and Allies), but – surprisingly – this African species is more closely related to Odontophoridae (New World Quail) (Crowe et al. 2006, Cohen et al. 2012). We reposition Stone Partridge at the beginning of Odontophoridae. Similarly, Nahan’s Francolin (Francolinus nahani<\/i>) is more closely related to Stone Partridge than it is to true francolins (Francolinus<\/i>) of Phasianidae. We transfer Nahan’s Francolin from Phasianidae to Odontophoridae, and to the genus Ptilopachus<\/i>, and position Nahan’s Francolin immediately following Stone Partridge.<\/p>\n

Three different group names have been used in recent years for species of Ninox<\/i>: “owl”, “hawk-owl”, and “boobook”. In accord with recent suggestions (King 2002, 2005, Rheindt and Hutchinson 2007), we drop the use of “hawk-owl”, and standardize as “boobook” the group name for all Ninox<\/i> formerly known as “hawk-owl”. We follow the same approach in revising the English name of the related genus Uroglaux<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Consequently, the English name for Ninox affinis<\/i> changes from “Andaman Hawk-Owl” to “Andaman Boobook”;<\/p>\n

page 145, Painted Parakeet Pyrrhura picta<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

Subspecies Pyrrhura picta microtera<\/i> (Painted Parakeet) is considered to be a synonym of Pyrrhura amazonum amazonum<\/i> (Santarem Parakeet). With the deletion of subspecies microtera<\/i>, the polytypic group Painted Parakeet (Painted)\u00a0 becomes a monotypic group, and the scientific name for this group changes from Pyrrhura picta<\/i> [picta<\/i> Group] to Pyrrhura picta picta<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Revise the range of the monotypic group Santarem Parakeet (Madeira) Pyrrhura amazonum snethlageae<\/i> from “Drainage of Rio Madeira in s Brazil and n Bolivia” to “Drainage of the Rio Madeira in Brazil and northern Bolivia”.<\/p>\n

Add subspecies Pyrrhura amazonum lucida<\/i>, described by Arndt 2008, with range “northern Mato Grosso, Brazil (along the rios Teles Peres and Peixote de Azuvedo”. This subspecies originally was described as Pyrrhura snethlageae lucida<\/i>. We also recognize lucida<\/i> as a new monotypic group, Santarem Parakeet (Cristalino) Pyrrhura amazonum lucida<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Bowie et al. (2009) described a new warbler, very similar to Mrs. Moreau’s Warbler (Scepomycter winifredae<\/i>), from the Eastern Arc mountains of Tanzania. They proposed recognition of this warbler as a species, Rubeho Warbler (Scepomycter rubehoensis<\/i>), with range “montane forests of eastern Tanzania (Ukaguru and Rubeho Mountains)”. Provisionally we add this taxon to the eBird\/Clements list as a subspecies of Mrs. Moreau’s Warbler, but we also recognize it as a new monotypic group, Mrs. Moreau’s Warbler (Rubeho) Scepomycter winifredae rubehoensis<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The English name for the family Timaliidae is changed from “Babblers” to “Tree-Babblers, Scimitar-Babblers, and Allies”. The sequence of the genera and species in Timaliidae is revised, following Moyle et al. (2012). We retain the babblers (sensu lato<\/i>) in three families (Pellorneidae, Leiothrichidae, Timaliidae) but note that some authorities would merge all three of these into a single family, Timaliidae (e.g. Gelang et al. 2009, Moyle et al. 2012). The sequence of the babbler families is changed from Pellorneidae, Leiothrichidae, Timaliidae to Timaliidae, Pellorneidae, Leiothrichidae.

The English name for the family Pellorneidae is changed from “Fulvettas and Ground Babblers” to “Ground Babblers and Allies”. The sequence of the genera and species in Pellorneidae is revised, following Moyle et al. (2012). We retain the babblers (sensu lato<\/i>) in three families (Pellorneidae, Leiothrichidae, Timaliidae) but note that some authorities would merge all three of these into a single family, Timaliidae (e.g. Gelang et al. 2009, Moyle et al. 2012). The sequence of the babbler families is changed from Pellorneidae, Leiothrichidae, Timaliidae to Timaliidae, Pellorneidae, Leiothrichidae. The sequence of genera in Pellorneidae that we adopt is:<\/p>\n

Malacopteron<\/i><\/p>\n

Gampsorhynchus<\/i><\/p>\n

Schoeniparus<\/i><\/p>\n

Illadopsis<\/i><\/p>\n

Pellorneum<\/i><\/p>\n

Bagobo Babbler is transferred from the genus Trichastoma<\/i> to Leonardina<\/i>, following Collar and Robson (2007); the scientific name for this species changes from Trichastoma woodi<\/i> to Leonardina woodi<\/i>. Bagobo Babbler apparently is not a babbler (Pellorneidae) at all (Moyle et al. 2012, Oliveros et al. 2012), and may be more closely related to Old World Flycatchers (Muscicapidae) (Oliveros et al. 2012). Provisionally we retain this species in Pellorneidae, but place it at the end of the sequence of species.<\/p>\n

The English name for the family Leiothrichidae is changed from “Laughingthrushes” to “Laughingthrushes and Allies”. The sequence of the genera and species in Leiothrichidae is revised, following Moyle et al. (2012). We retain the babblers (sensu lato<\/i>) in three families (Pellorneidae, Leiothrichidae, Timaliidae) but note that some authorities would merge all three of these into a single family, Timaliidae (e.g. Gelang et al. 2009, Moyle et al. 2012). The sequence of the babbler families is changed from Pellorneidae, Leiothrichidae, Timaliidae to Timaliidae, Pellorneidae, Leiothrichidae. The sequence of genera in Leiothrichidae that we adopt is:<\/p>\n

Alcippe<\/i><\/p>\n

Grammatoptila<\/i><\/p>\n

Cutia<\/i><\/p>\n

Turdoides<\/i><\/p>\n

Rufous-bellied Saltator (Saltator rufiventris<\/i>) is sister to (closely related to) tanagers of the genus Dubusia<\/i>, and is not closely related to other saltators (Saltator<\/i>) (see SACC Proposal 427<\/a>, which in turn is based on Klicka et al. 2007). There is reluctance to merge Rufous-bellied Saltator into Dubusia<\/i>; apparently there is no other generic name available for this species; but placing Rufous-bellied Saltator in its correct phylogenetic position would render the genus Saltator <\/i>wildly paraphyletic.

Subspecies Melospiza melodia inexspectata<\/i> is synonymized with Melospiza melodia merrilli<\/i> (Patten and Pruett 2009). Revise the range of merrilli<\/i> from “S Br. Col. to sw Alberta and nw Montana; > to n Mexico” to “southeastern Alaska (Glacier Bay), central British Columbia to southwestern Alberta and northwestern Montana; winters to central California, northern Mexico”. Subspecies Melospiza melodia fisherella<\/i> is synonymized with Melospiza melodia montana <\/i>(Patten and Pruett 2009). Revise the range of montana<\/i> from “NE Oregon to w Idaho, e Ariz., and n N.

Subspecies Melospiza melodia cleonensisis<\/i> transferred from polytypic group Song Sparrow (Pacific Northwest) (Melospiza melodia<\/i> [rufina<\/i> Group]) to the polytypic group Song Sparrow (California) (Melospiza melodia<\/i> [heermanni<\/i> Group]). Subspecies Melospiza melodia mailliardi<\/i> and Melospiza melodia cooperi<\/i> both are synonymized with Melospiza melodia heermanni<\/i> (Patten and Pruett 2009). Revise the range of heermanni<\/i> from “S California (Merced Co. to Kern County and Kings Canyon)” to “cistmontane California (Central Valley, Suisan Bay to Mojave, Colorado deserts), coastal Calif (from northern Monterey County to northern Baja)”.<\/p>\n

Subspecies Melospiza melodia micronyx, Melospiza melodia clementae<\/i>, and Melospiza melodia coronatorum<\/i> all are synonymized with Melospiza melodia graminea<\/i> (Patten and Pruett 2009). Revise the range of graminea<\/i> from “Santa Barbara I. (off coastal s California)” to “Channel Is. (off southern California), Los Coronados Is. (off northwestern Baja California)”.<\/p>\n

We recognize a new monotypic group, Song Sparrow (San Pablo Saltmarsh) (Melospiza melodia samuelis<\/i>).<\/p>\n

We recognize a new monotypic group, Song Sparrow (South San Francisco Bay Saltmarsh) (Melospiza melodia pusillula<\/i>).<\/p>\n

Subspecies Melospiza melodia saltonis<\/i> is synonymized with Melospiza melodia fallax<\/i> (Patten and Pruett 2009). Revise the range of fallax<\/i> from “SE Nevada to sw Utah, Arizona and nw Mexico (ne Sonora)” to “southern Nevada to southwestern Utah, southeastern Calif to northwestern Baja California, western Mexico (northeastern Sonora)”.<\/p>\n

Subspecies Melospiza melodia goldmani<\/i> transferred from the polytypic group Song Sparrow (Mexican) (Melospiza melodia<\/i> [mexicana<\/i> Group]) to Song Sparrow (Southwest) (Melospiza melodia<\/i> [fallax<\/i> Group]).<\/p>\n

Subspecies Melospiza melodia niceae<\/i> and Melospiza melodia azteca<\/i> both are synonymized with Melospiza melodia mexicana<\/i> (Patten and Pruett 2009). Revise the range of mexicana<\/i> from “Wetlands of s-central Mexico (Tlaxcala and Puebla)” to “wetlands of central Mexico (Hidalgo, Tlaxcala, Puebla, Distrito Federal and M\u00e9xico)”.<\/p>\n

Subspecies Melospiza melodia\u00a0 yuriria<\/i> is synonymized with Melospiza melodia adusta<\/i> (Patten and Pruett 2009).
