page 39, Northern Harrier\u00a0 Circus cyaneus<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In accord with AOS-NACC (Chesser et al. 2017), Northern Harrier Circus cyaneus<\/em> is split into two monotypic species: Hen Harrier Circus cyaneus<\/em>, of the Old World, and Northern Harrier Circus hudsonius<\/em>, of North America. This split is based on “differences in morphology, plumage, and breeding habitat (Grant 1983, Thorpe 1988, Dobson and Clarke 2011, Etherington and Mobley 2016) commensurate with differences between other recognized species of Circus<\/em>” (Chesser et al. 2017).<\/p>\n

page 185, Glossy Swiftlet\u00a0 Collocalia esculenta<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Glossy Swiftlet Collocalia esculenta<\/em> is split into multiple species, and the sequence of species of Collocalia<\/em> swiftlets is revised. following Rheindt et al. (2017):<\/p>\n

Subspecies Collocalia esculenta natalis<\/em> is elevated to species rank as a monotypic Christmas Island Swiftlet Collocalia natalis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Subspecies affinis, elachyptera, cyanoptila, vanderbilti<\/em>, and oberholseri<\/em> are removed from Glossy Swiftlet and are recognized as Plume-toed Swiftlet Collocalia affinis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Subspecies marginata<\/em> and septentrionalis<\/em> are removed from Glossy Swiftlet and are recognized as Gray-rumped Swiftlet Collocalia marginata<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Subspecies isonota<\/em> and bagobo<\/em> are removed from Glossy Swiftlet, and are recognized as Ridgetop Swiftlet Collocalia isonota<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We recognize Tenggara Swiftlet Collocalia sumbawae<\/em>, which includes subspecies sumbawae<\/em> and a newly described subspecies, sumbae.<\/em> Revise the range description of nominate sumbawae<\/em> from “W Lesser Sundas (Sumbawa, Sumba, Flores and Besar)” to “western Lesser Sundas (Sumbawa; population on Flores and Besar possibly also this subspecies)”. Following sumbawae<\/em>, insert newly described sumbae<\/em> Schodde, Rheindt, and Christidis 2017, with range “western Lesser Sundas (Sumba)”.<\/p>\n

Subspecies neglecta <\/em>and perneglecta<\/em> are removed from Glossy Swiftlet, and are recognized as Drab Swiftlet Collocalia neglecta<\/em>. Revise the range description of nominate neglecta<\/em> from “E Lesser Sundas (Roti, Dao, Semau, Timor and Jaco)” to “Lesser Sundas (Sawu, Roti, Semau, and Timor)”. Revise the range description of subspecies perneglecta<\/em> from “Alor, Sawu, Wetar, Kisar, Romang, Damar and Tanimbar is.” to “Lesser Sundas (Alor, Wetar, and Kisar); populations on Romang, Damar and Tanimbar possibly introgressant with Glossy Swiftlet”.<\/p>\n

Subspecies uropygialis<\/em> and albidior<\/em> are removed from Glossy Swiftlet, and are recognized as Satin Swiftlet Collocalia uropygialis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Additionally, subspecies Collocalia esculenta erwini<\/em>, with range “High mountains of w New Guinea”, is condidered to be a junior synonym of nitens<\/em> (Beehler and Pratt 2016, Rheindt et al. 2017), and is deleted. Revise the range description of subspecies nitens<\/em> from “Lowlands of New Guinea and w Papuan islands” to “New Guinea, western Papuan Islands, Yapen, and Karker”. Following Rheindt et al. (2017), we recognize subspecies heinrothi<\/em> Neumann 1919, previously considered to be a junior synomym of stresemanni<\/em> (Peters 1940). Insert heinrothi<\/em> immediately following subspecies stresemanni<\/em>; the range of heinrothi<\/em> is “Bismarck Archipelago (New Hanover, Nusa, New Ireland, and Djaul)”. Subspecies kalili<\/em>, with range “Bismarck Arch. (New Ireland, New Hanover and Dyaul)”, is considered to be a junior synomym of heinrothi <\/em>(Dickinson and Remsen 2013, Rheindt et al. 2017), and is deleted. Following subspecies tametamele,<\/em> insert a newly described subspecies, lagonoleucos<\/em> Schodde, Rheindt, and Christidis 2017, with range “northwestern Solomon Islands (Buka and Bougainville; identify of population on Shortland not determined, but possibly this subspecies)” (Rheindt et al. 2017). Revise the range description of nominate esculenta<\/em> from “S Moluccas, s Sulawesi, Banggai and Sula islands” to “central and southern Sulawesi, Banggai and Sula islands, South Moluccas\u00a0 (to Kai Islands), and Aru Islands”. As a result of all of these changes, Glossy Swiftlet now consists of the following subspecies: spilura, manadensis, esculenta, minuta, amethystina, numforensis, nitens, misimae, stresemanni, heinrothi, spilogaster, hypogrammica, tametamele, lagonoleucos, becki, makirensis,<\/em> and desiderata<\/em>.<\/p>\n

page 204, Magnificent Hummingbird\u00a0 Eugenes fulgens<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In accord with AOS-NACC (Chesser et al. 2017), Magnificent Hummingbird Eugenes fulgens<\/em> is split into two species: Rivoli’s Hummingbird Eugenes fulgens<\/em>, and Talamanca Hummingbird Eugenes spectabilis<\/em>. This action is based on an assessment of the degree of plumage differences between them. A phylogenetic survey by Zamudio-Beltr\u00e1n and Hern\u00e1ndez-Ba\u00f1os (2015) also revealed a genetic divergence between Rivoli’s and Talamanca hummingbirds.<\/p>\n

page 240, Emerald Toucanet\u00a0 Aulacorhynchus prasinus<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In accord with AOS-NACC (Chesser et al. 2017), Emerald Toucanet Aulacorhynchus prasinus<\/em> is split into two species: Northern Emerald-Toucanet Aulacorhynchus prasinus<\/em>, which includes subspecies wagleri, prasinus, warneri, virescens, volcanius, maxillaris, caeruleogularis<\/em>, and cognatus<\/em>; and Southern Emerald-Toucanet Aulacorhynchus albivitta<\/em>, which includes subspecies lautus, griseigularis, albivitta, phaeolaemus, dimidiatus<\/em>, and cyanolaemus<\/em>. This split is based on “differences in phenotype and genetic results consistent with those differences (Puebla-Olivares et al. 2008, Bonaccorso et al. 2011, Winker 2016)” (Chesser et al. 2017).<\/p>\n

Within Northern Emerald-Toucanet, change the English name of the monotypic group Aulacorhynchus prasinus wagleri<\/em> from Emerald Toucanet (Wagler’s) to Northern Emerald-Toucanet (Wagler’s). Change the English name of the polytypic group Aulacorhynchus prasinus <\/em>[prasinus<\/em> Group] from Emerald Toucanet (Emerald) to Northern Emerald-Toucanet (Emerald). Subspecies stenorhabdus<\/em>, with range “Subtropical s Mexico to w Guatemala and n El Salvador”, and subspecies chiapensis<\/em>, with range “Mts. of extreme s Mexico (Mt. Ovando, Chiapas)”, both are considered to be junior synonyms of virescens<\/em> (Peters 1948, Monroe 1968), and are deleted. Revise the range description of virescens<\/em> from “SE Mexico (Chiapas) to Honduras and Nicaragua” to “southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, western El Salvador, Honduras, and northern Nicaragua”. Change the English name of the polytypic group Aulacorhynchus prasinus caeruleogularis\/maxillaris<\/em> from Emerald Toucanet (Blue-throated) to Northern Emerald-Toucanet (Blue-throated). Change the English name of the monotypic group Aulacorhynchus prasinus cognatus<\/em> from Emerald Toucanet (Violet-throated) to Northern Emerald-Toucanet (Violet-throated).<\/p>\n

Within Southern Emerald-Toucanet, change the names of the monotypic group Emerald Toucanet (Santa Marta) Aulacorhynchus prasinus lautus<\/em> to Southern Emerald-Toucanet (Santa Marta) Aulacorhynchus albivitta lautus<\/em>. Change the names of the monotypic group Emerald Toucanet (Gray-throated) Aulacorhynchus prasinus griseigularis<\/em> to Southern Emerald-Toucanet (Gray-throated) Aulacorhynchus albivitta griseigularis<\/em>. Change the names of the polytypic group Emerald Toucanet (Andean) Aulacorhynchus prasinus albivitta\/phaeolaemus<\/em> to Southern Emerald-Toucanet (Andean) Aulacorhynchus albivitta albivitta\/phaeolaemus<\/em>. Change the names of the polytypic group Emerald Toucanet (Black-throated) Aulacorhynchus prasinus<\/em> [atrogularis<\/em> Group] to Southern Emerald-Toucanet (Black-throated) Aulacorhynchus albivitta<\/em> [atrogularis<\/em> Group].<\/p>\n

page 571, Northern Shrike\u00a0 Lanius excubitor<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In accord with AOS-NACC (Chesser et al. 2017), Northern Shrike Lanius excubitor<\/em> is split into two species: Great Gray Shrike Lanius excubitor<\/em>, with subspecies excubitor, homeyeri<\/em>, and leucopterus<\/em>; and Northern Shrike Lanius borealis<\/em>, with subspecies sibiricus, bianchii, mollis, funereus,<\/em> and borealis<\/em>. This split is based on “differences in plumage and mtDNA (Johnsen et al. 2010, Olsson et al. 2010, Peer et al. 2011)” (Chesser et al. 2017); in particular, Northern Shrike is more closely related to other species than it is to Great Gray Shrike (Olsson et al. 2010).<\/p>\n

Change the the scientific name of the polytypic group Northern Shrike (Asian) from Lanius excubitor<\/i> [mollis<\/i> Group] to Lanius borealis<\/i> [mollis<\/i> Group].<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Subspecies invictus<\/i>, with range “N Alaska to extreme n British Columbia and Alberta”, is considered to be a junior synonym of nominate borealis<\/i> (Phillips 1986), and is deleted. Revise the range description of borealis<\/i> from “E Canada (Quebec and n Ontario); > to ne US” to “breeds Alaska and northern Canada, south to extreme northern British Columbia and Alberta, northern Ontario, and Quebec; winters southern Canada and northern United States.”. Consequently, the group Northern Shrike (American) becomes monotypic; change the scientific name of this group from Lanius excubitor borealis\/invictus<\/i> to Lanius borealis borealis<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The extinct genus Turnagra<\/em>, which we previously treated as a single, monotypic species, Piopio Turnagra capensis<\/em>, is split into two species, following Oliver (1955), Holdaway et al. (2001), and Gill et al. (2010): a monotypic North Island Piopio Turnagra tanagra<\/em>, with range “Formerly New Zealand (North Island). Extinct; last confirmed report in 1902”; and a polytypic South Island Piopio Turnagra capensis<\/em>, with subspecies minor<\/em> and capensis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Add a previously overlooked subspecies, Turnagra capensis minor<\/em>, with range “Formerly New Zealand (Stephens Island). Extinct; last reported 1897” (Gill et al. 2010).<\/p>\n

With the split of Turnagra<\/em> into two species, and the addition of subspecies minor<\/em>, revise the range description of nominate capensis<\/em> from “Formerly New Zealand. Extinct; last reported 1963” to “Formerly New Zealand (South Island). Extinct; last confirmed report in 1905”.<\/p>\n

The resulting species are Vogelkop Superb Bird-of-Paradise Lophorina niedda<\/em>, with subspecies niedda<\/em> and the newly described subspecies inopinata<\/em>; Greater Superb Bird-of-Paradise Lophorina superba<\/em>, with subspecies superba, addenda<\/em>, and latipennis<\/em>; and a monotypic Lesser Superb Bird-of-Paradise Lophorina minor<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Under Vogelkop Superb Bird-of-Paradise (Lophorina niedda<\/em>), add a newly described subspecies, Lophorina niedda inopinata<\/em> Irestedt et al. 2017, with range “mountains of the Bird’s Head Peninsula, West Papua, New Guinea”. Insert this subspecies immediately following the entry for the species Vogelkop Superb Bird-of-Paradise Lophorina niedda<\/em>. Note that the range attributed to this subspecies corresponds to the range formerly attributed to subspecies superba<\/em>, a name that now is applied to a population in the western highlands of New Guinea, and which represents a different species, Greater Superb Bird-of-Paradise.<\/p>\n

Revise the range description of subspecies niedda <\/em>from “W New Guinea (Mt. Wondiwoi in Wandammen Peninsula)” to “mountains of the Wandammen Peninsula, Bird’s Neck, West Papua, New Guinea”.<\/p>\n

Regarding Greater Superb Bird-of-Paradise (Lophorina superba<\/em>), Irestedt et al. (2017) conclude that the name superba<\/em>, previously applied to the population in the mountains of the Bird’s Head Peninsula, instead should refer to the population of the central highlands of New Guinea. Also, subspecies feminina<\/em>, with range “W New Guinea (Weyland Mts. to Hindenberg Mts.)”, is considered to be a junior synonym of superba<\/em> (Irestedt et al. 2017). Revise the range description of superba<\/em> from “W New Guinea (Arfak and Tamrau mountains)” to “montane western New Guinea, from the Kobowre Mountains (West Papua, Indonesia) to the Sepik-Strickland River Divide (western Papua New Guinea)”.<\/p>\n

Following Irestedt et al. (2017), resurrect subspecies addenda<\/em> Iredale 1948, previously considered to be a synomym of feminina<\/em> (Mayr 1962), with range “eastern ranges of New Guinea, from the Yuat-Strickland River Divide and the base of the southeastern Peninsula, Papua New Guinea”. Insert subspecies addenda<\/em> immediately following subspecies superba<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Revise the range description of subspecies latipennis<\/em> from “E New Guinea (Central and E Highlands to mts. of Huon Pen.)” to “eastern New Guinea (mountains of the Huon Peninsula, and presumably also the Herzog and Adelbert Ranges)”.<\/p>\n

Lesser Superb Bird-of-Paradise (Lophorina minor<\/em>) is monotypic. Subspecies sphinx<\/em>, known from a single specimen, with range “Mountains of extreme se New Guinea”, is considered to be a junior synonym of minor<\/em> (Irestedt et al. 2017), and is deleted. Revise the range description of minor<\/em> from “Mountains of se Papua New Guinea” to “southeastern Papua New Guinea (mountains of the Papuan Peninsula, west at least to the Wharton Range)”.<\/p>\n

Buff-vented Bulbul has been listed as a monotypic species, Iole olivacea<\/em>, since subspecies were introduced to the eBird\/Clements Checklist (Clements Checklist fifth edition, 2000). The species name is charlottae<\/em> (Dickinson and Christidis 2014), not olivacea<\/em>, however, and the species should have been considered to be polytypic, with subspecies crypta<\/em> and charlottae<\/em> (Rand and Deignan 1960, Dickinson and Christidis 2014). Manawatthana et al. (2017) now demonstrate that crypta<\/em> and charlottae<\/em> each should be recognized as a separate species. The English name Buff-vented Bulbul remains with Iole crypta<\/em>. Revise the range description of Buff-vented Bulbul from “Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo and adjacent islands” to “Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Bangka and Belitung, Anambas Islands, and Natuna”. The English name of Iole charlottae<\/em> is Charlotte’s Bulbul. Revise the range description of Charlotte’s Bulbul from “Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo and adjacent islands” to “Borneo”.<\/p>\n

This action is based on Sandoval et al.

Following Sandoval et al.

In accord with AOU-NACC (Chesser et al. 2016), the New World Vultures Cathartidae are removed from Accipitriformes and are placed in a new order, Cathartiformes, based on the very deep phylogenomic divergence between vultures and the rest of Accipitriformes (Jarvis et al. 2014, Prum et al. 2015). The position of New World Vultures in the linear sequence does not change.<\/p>\n

In light of vocal differences (e.g., Ridgely and Greenfield 2001), we resurrect subspecies transandinus<\/em>. Provisionally we continue to treat subspecies hellmayri<\/em> as a junior synonym of transandinus<\/em>, so the range of transandinus<\/em> is “highlands of Costa Rica and Panama, and west slope of the Andes of Colombia and Ecuador”. We recognize transandinus<\/em> as a new monotypic group, Slaty-capped Flycatcher (transandinus<\/em>) Leptopogon superciliaris transandinus<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Revise the range description of subspecies Slaty-capped Flycatcher (superciliaris<\/em>) Leptopogon superciliaris superciliaris<\/em> from “Mts. of Costa Rica to Venezuela, n Brazil and w Bolivia” to “coastal mountains and Andes of Venezuela south through Andes of Colombia (except for west slope of Western Andes) and east slope of Andes of Ecuador and Peru (south to the Apur\u00edmac Valley in Cuzco)”.<\/p>\n

Our current sequence of genera in Tyrannidae is based on the lists of AOS-NACC and AOS-SACC, which differ from one another, and neither of which well reflects current knowledge of the phylogeny of these birds. Resolution of this problem is a task that we postpone until a later date. In the short term, with the transfer of Kinglet Calyptura Calyptura cristata<\/em> from Cotingidae to Tyrannidae (see below), based its relationship to Cinnamon Manakin-Tyrant Neopipo cinnamomea<\/em> and the spadebills (Platyrinchus), we move Cinnamon Manakin-Tyrant to a new position, immediately following Yellow-breasted Flycatcher Tolmomyias flaviventris<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Position Kinglet Calyptura between Cinnamon Manakin-Tyrant and the spadebills.<\/p>\n

The correct species name of Olive Bulbul is Iole viridescens<\/em>, not Iole virescens<\/em> (Rand and Deignan 1960, Dickinson and Christidis 2014).<\/p>\n

A population in Myanmar, previously classified as a subspecies of Olive Bulbul (Iole viredescens myitkyinensis<\/em>), instead is embedded within Gray-eyed Bulbul. Transfer myitkyinensis<\/em> to Gray-eyed Bulbul; position it immediately following the species heading for Gray-eyed Bulbul; and change the scientific name from Iole viredescens myitkyinensis<\/em> to Iole propinqua myitkyinensis.<\/em><\/p>\n

Two other subspecies of Gray-eyed Bulbul, lekahuni<\/em> and cinnamomeiventri<\/em>s, in turn are reassigned to Olive Bulbul Iole viridescens<\/em>. Change the scientific name from Iole propinqua lekhakuni<\/em> to Iole viridescens lekhakuni<\/em>. Revise the range description from “S Myanmar to sw Thailand” to “southern Myanmar to western Thailand”.<\/p>\n

Change the scientific name from Iole propinqua cinnamomeoventris<\/em> to Iole viridescens cinnamomeoventris<\/em>. Revise the range description of subspecies cinnamomeoventris<\/em> from “Malay Pen. (Mergui District and Isthmus of Kra to Trang)” to “Thai-Malay Peninsula (Mergui District and Isthmus of Kra south at least to Songkhla)”. We recognize cinnamomeiventris <\/em>as a new monotypic group, Olive Bulbul (Baker’s) Iole viridescens cinnamomeoventris<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Subspecies dulcivox<\/em>, with range “S China (s Sichuan to s Yunnan)”, is deleted. This subspecies is known with certainty from only a single specimen, which was destroyed during the Second World War (Vaurie 1959). Delacour (1943) suggested that dulcivox<\/em> is a junior synonmy of intricatus<\/em>, but since its identity no longer can be confirmed, Dickinson and Christidis (2014) remark that it is “best considered unidentifiable”. We delete subspecies dulcivox<\/em>.

Subspecies avicenniae<\/em> (African Reed Warbler) is more closely related to Eurasian Reed Warbler than to other subspecies of African Reed Warbler (Kennerly and Pearson 2010, Olsson et al. 2016), and so is transferred to Eurasian Reed Warbler.
