    Gymnocrecini, Amaurornithini and Pardirallini: three new family-group names for rails, with comments on the taxonomic placement of Zapornia akool (Rallidae) (2024)
    In:  Avian Systematics vol. 2 no. 4, pp. 53-64
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-15
    Description: Multi-locus and phylogenomic studies have clarified the taxonomic limits and \nhigher-level relationships among rails (Rallidae). A recently proposed classification of rails by \nKirchman et al. (2021) listed nine tribes. The names of three of these (Gymnocrecini, \nAmaurornithini and Pardirallini) were introduced by Livezey (1998), but these names do not \nmeet the requirements of the ICZN Code (1999) and are therefore unavailable. We formally \ndescribe these taxa and make the names available for nomenclatural purposes. In addition, we \nclarify the apparent incongruence among recent phylogenetic studies in the generic (and tribal) \nplacement of Zapornia akool.

    Ithaginini, a new family‐group name for the Blood Pheasant Ithaginis cruentus and resurrection of Lerwini for the Snow Partridge Lerwa lerwa (Phasianidae) (2023)
    In:  Avian Systematics vol. 2 no. 1, pp. 1-7
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-10
    Description: Recent phylogenetic studies have agreed that the Snow Partridge Lerwa lerwa and the Blood Pheasant Ithaginis cruentus should be placed in Phasianinae as the successive sister taxa to all other members of this clade. We suggest that each of these species should be recognized as a separate tribe. The family‐group name Lerwini von Boetticher, 1939 is here resurrected for Lerwa lerwa. We also show that the family‐group name Ithagininae Wolters, 1976, is unavailable for Ithaginis cruentus. We therefore describe a new family‐group name Ithaginini.

    Apalodermatinae, a new family-group name for the African trogons (Trogonidae), with clarification of the authorship of Harpactini (2023)
    In:  Avian Systematics vol. 2 no. 3, pp. 45-52
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-10
    Description: Phylogenomic analysis provides strong evidence for reciprocal monophyly of African, New World and Asian trogons. The family-group name Trogonini is available for the New World trogons, whereas the clades of African and Asian trogons have been named ‘Apaloderminae’ Sibley and Ahlquist, 1985, and ‘Harpactini’ Sibley, Ahlquist and Monroe, 1986, respectively. However, we demonstrate that the latter two names did not meet the requirements of the ICZN Code (1999) and are therefore unavailable. We review past usage of family-group names of the trogons and show that no name is available for the clade of African trogons. To remedy this, we describe this taxon and make a family-group name available. We show that the correct authorship of the family-group name of the Asian trogons is Harpactini S.F. Baird (1851).

    Systematic notes on Asian birds. 56. The authorship and date of Turdus rubrocanus (2006)
    In:  Zoologische Mededelingen vol. 80 no. 5, pp. 179-184
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-16
    Description: This name from J.E. & G.R. Gray’s 1847 Catalogue of B.H. Hodgson’s materials from Nepal was not based on a description therein, although it is generally cited from there, and correctly so except for the date. It is valid from there only under the little-used Articles 11.6 and 50.7 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (I.C.Z.N., 1999). These rules allow Hodgson’s 1844 nomen nudum to be reintroduced together with an ‘indication’ although still without a description. In exploring the validity of the citation from 1847 we found that over time the rules of nomenclature have changed and that what should not have been acceptable in 1962 and 1964, is now acceptable. We also draw attention to a colour plate that seems likely to have been intended to support the description as new of this thrush, but had to be corrected when it was found that the bird had already been named. In the event this plate appeared about five months after the Catalogue.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-16
    Description: Hodgson spent most of his career in Nepal and several years of retirement in Darjeeling, making collection in both areas. Dates relating to these periods are clarified and his collections and donations are discussed. His drawings, touched upon briefly, are now receiving further study and will be reported upon in due course.

    Systematic Notes on Asian Birds. 62. A preliminary review of the Sittidae (2006)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-16
    Description: The Asian species of nuthatch have been reviewed several times in the last 50 years or so although the changes made have sometimes not appeared in the ‘primary’ literature, thus lack supporting explanations or sufficient detail. There continue to be puzzles over species limits, with a great need for molecular studies to inform on relationships as, morphologically, Sitta appears to be sufficiently varied to sustain two or more genera.

    In:  Zoologische Mededelingen vol. 80 no. 5, pp. 287-310
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-16
    Description: A list is presented of 126 names applied to Asian forms of nuthatch and wallcreeper species (family Sittidae) and of treecreeper and spotted creeper species (family Certhiidae). This list provides information on the whereabouts of type specimens. Where our information does not include reliable data we provide notes to explain the deficit and to stimulate others to offer additional data or sources of information. A lectotype is designated for Sitta frontalis Swainson, 1820.

    Systematic notes on Asian birds. 55. A re-examination of the date of publication of Jerdon’s Second Supplement to the Catalogue of the Birds of southern India (2006)
    In:  Zoologische Mededelingen vol. 80 no. 5, pp. 169-178
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-16
    Description: Because Jerdon’s Second Supplement, published in 1845, reflects an exchange of information with Edward Blyth, the date of issue requires interpretation to position it in relation to several papers that year by Blyth. The evidence suggests that we should accept that it appeared soon after 9th August 1845. The only names potentially affected by this resolution are the generic name Phragamaticola the establishment of which is reviewed, and Phragamaticola olivacea ‘Blyth’ Jerdon, which is in synonymy.

    Systematic notes on Asian birds. 54. Comments on the names proposed by Hodgson (1845) and their priority (2006)
    In:  Zoologische Mededelingen vol. 80 no. 5, pp. 155-167
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-16
    Description: Hodgson (1845) described 49 ‘new’ taxa. It appears that when he prepared this paper for publication Hodgson was unaware of parallel publications by Blyth. Conflicts of priority are thus a concern and although Blyth’s relevant papers have generally been conceded to have priority the ‘fit’ of the dates has not previously been clearly explained. We apply the dates for Blyth’s papers provided by Dickinson & Pittie (2006) and confirm that these fit with previous understanding, implying that no fresh issues of priority arise. 26 of the 49 ‘new’ taxa prove not to have been new, having been named before. Of 18 Hodgson names 16 are in current use. Another has been replaced by a nomen novum due to preoccupation, and one more has been declared a nomen oblitum. Three of Hodgson’s 1845 novelties seem to be duplicate names, their subjects having been named twice in the same paper. Two others present problems of identification which require that the type material be re-studied; such studies will be carried out after Hodgson’s drawings have been fully studied and the sequence of his drawing numbers presented and explained. Some notes are provided on five of the 49 names. The name Buteo plumipes (Parbattiah = Hodgson, 1836) must be used in place of Buteo burmanicus Hume, 1875. The type locality of Digenea leucomelanura is restricted to the central hills of Nepal.

    Systematic notes on Asian birds. 51. Dates of avian names introduced in early volumes of the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal (2006)
    In:  Zoologische Mededelingen vol. 80 no. 5, pp. 113-124
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-16
    Description: The Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal contains many new names of birds and other animals but accurate dating of the new names is difficult. The Society wanted it to contain a monthly meteorological report and in many, if not most, years deliberately issued the journal early in the month after that covered by this report, thus the December issue would normally have appeared in January. However, this pattern broke down due to the ill-health of the editor and periodic financial crises, resulting in backlogs of four months or more. Here, we focus solely on papers in which new birds are named and where it has been suggested that the imprint year was not the year of publication. We note the inconsistent dating of these papers in the past and recommend the year that is best used for each.
