Obwohl der Kolibri Phaethornis malaris (Nordmann) der Wissenschaft wahrscheinlich schon vor Ausgang des XVIII. Jahrhunderts bekannt war (eine Abbildung findet sich in Audebert & Vieillot, 1802: 37, T. 17) und 1835 die wissenschaftliche Benennung erfolgte (Nordmann, 1835), war er nur aus einem erstaunlich kleinen Gebiet bekannt. In der Küstenzone von Französisch Guayana war er offensichtlich von jeher ziemlich häufig, denn während des vorigen Jahrhunderts fanden viele Bälge (meist ohne genaues Datum und mit sehr allgemein gehaltenen Lokalitätsangaben) ihren Weg in wissenschaftliche Sammlungen und später gingen dem Carnegie Museum nicht weniger als 33 Stücke zu durch den Sammler S. M. Klages. Der Literatur kann entnommen werden, dass P. malaris in...

Systematic notes on Asian birds. 24. On the priority of the name Hypsipetes Vigors, 1831, and the division of the broad genus of that name

Dickinson, E.C.; Gregory, S.M.S..

We conclude that the reasons hitherto given for non-recognition of the generic name Ixos in the family Pycnonotidae were erroneous. The broad genus employed by the proponents of that view is now considered too broad, and we concur with Sibley & Monroe (1990) that several generic names must be used, including Ixos. No genus can be constructed except around the name of its type species, and no other species within such a genus may be the type species of a generic name that is older. The arrangement offered by Sibley & Monroe (1990) was flawed because this rule was not observed. We therefore offer a complete revision. We believe it to be desirable to recognise several more genera than those recognised by Sibley & Monroe (1990), at least until we...

The history of the generic name Anthracoceros is reviewed. It is confirmed that the type species usually cited, Buceros malabaricus Gmelin, 1788, was not the first subsequently included nominal species. It is further shown that neither of the nominal species included in Anthracoceros by Bonaparte in 1854 can be considered as type candidates. This mistaken use of Anthracoceros aside, the type species of Anthracoceros is shown to be Buceros monoceros Shaw, 1811, by subsequent monotypy (Art. 69.3), and the correct citation given.

In July 1974, a seabird was received for identification from Mrs. M. P. Panday of Paramaribo, Suriname. The bird proved to be an immature specimen of the Great Shearwater, Puffinus gravis (O'Reilly), a species not previously recorded from Suriname or the adjacent countries, which explains why Mrs. Panday had been unable to identify it with the literature available to her. Further information received from Mrs. Panday was that she had found the dead bird on the beach of the fauna reserve Bigi-Santi (east of Paramaribo) during a visit made from 13 to 15 June, 1974. There were many dead shearwaters on the beach at the time, but only a few (like the one collected) were fresh, most of the birds found were already entirely desiccated, and would have been dead...

Unter dem Titel „Catalogue systématique du cabinet d'ornithologie et de la collection de quadrumanes de Crd. Jb. Temminck. Avec une courte description des oiseaux non-décrits ... à Amsterdam, chez C. Sepp Jansz. MDCCCVH" gab der bald dreissigjährige C. J. Temminck ein Büchlein heraus, das dem Historiker der Ornithologie manch willkommenen Aufschluss erteilt. Der Autor selber hat in späteren Jahren diese seine erste Veröffentlichung nicht mehr erwähnt. Wegen ihrer Seltenheit ist sie den meisten Ornithologen der Folgezeit unbekannt geblieben, und einzig Hartlaub hat sich der Aufgabe unterzogen sie genauer zu studieren und die vielen neuen Vogelarten zu deuten, die Temminck im Catalogue" zwar sorgfältig beschrieben, aber nur mit französischen Namen belegt...

The name of the white-eye from Rendova Island (Solomon Islands)

Of the various races of white-eyes that inhabit the central group of the Solomon Islands, the race from the island of Rendova was the first to become known to science. Tristram (1882) recorded this race, which he indentified with Tephras olivaceus Ramsay, described the previous year from the "Solomon Islands", without an exact indication of its type-locality (Ramsay, 1881). Tristram (l.c.) stated that the species was a typical member of the genus Zosterops, and that, consequently, Tephras olivaceus Ramsay became preoccupied by Zosterops olivacea auct. (Certhia olivacea L.) from Réunion. Therefore he proposed the new name Zosterops rendovae, his comment being as follows : "This bird has already been described by Mr. Ramsay ... as Tephras olivaceus, sp. nov....

Avian biogeography on western Indian Ocean islands: eustatic sea levels, geological events and anthropogenic changes

Hume, J.P..

The south-western Indian Ocean islands, excluding the microcontinent of Madagascar, are geologically complex and diverse. They have been subject to drastic sea level changes, volcanic events and anthropogenic changes, all of which have contributed to confuse understanding of their avian biogeography. An array of factors have affected these avifaunas, based on palaeontological, historical and molecular evidence,which together have shown that avian biogeography is not congruent with the relative age and size of the islands.

Porphyrio porphyrio plessenorum nov. subspec. ♂ und ♀ in der Färbung des Gefieders vollkommen mit P. p. indicus L. von Java übereinstimmend, aber durch die Farbe des Schnabels und der Beine unterschieden. Der Schnabel ist mehr rot, so dass bei den meisten Stücken der ganze Schnabel korallrot bis ziegelrot erscheint. Dagegen sind die Beine nie so rein korallrot wie bei P. p. indicus, sondern ziehen mehr oder weniger ins bräunliche. Bei Porphyrio porphyrio indicus L. (jedenfalls bei Exemplaren von Java) ist der First des Schnabels stets schwarz oder schwärzlich, so dass der Schnabel von oben gesehen schwarz erscheint. Auch die Basis des Unterschnabels ist schwarzlich. Dagegen sind die Beine des P. p. indicus (Javastücke) heller und reiner korallrot. Nur die...

A female of Riparia diluta in the ZISP collection and collected by Severtsov, which has sometimes been supposed to belong to the type series, is found to be this species but not the same subspecies and only a topotype. We designate a lectotype for R. diluta as Severtsov’s material was composite. Names introduced by Zarudny (1916) are evaluated and the synonymy of these two species is corrected to take into account the findings of both Zarudny and later workers.

INTRODUCTION In the periods January 1959-June 1961 and February-September 1962, a total of about three years, the late Mr. A. Hoogerwerf was attached to the experimental rice farm Koembe near Koerik, not far from the mouth of the Koembe River, southern New Guinea, where he was in charge of investigations concerning crop-damage caused by birds and mammals. The results of his work were published in an important report (Hoogerwerf, 1962), in which it was suggested that certain alterations in the pattern of agricultural activities, like changes in the times of flooding and planting of the fields, could reduce damage by water birds without need to resort to the drastic measures so frequently taken against wildlife when man feels only in the slightest...

Possible implications of Rabbit Calicivirus Disease for malleefowl Leipoa ocellata Gould in the north-west of Victoria

Sandell, P..

Parks Victoria and the Department of Natural Resources & Environment (NRE) are collaborating with agencies from the other States and the Commonwealth of Australia in a national program of detailed monitoring and surveillance of the effects of Rabbit Calicivirus Disease (RCD). A component of the Victorian study involves an investigation of possible changes in fox predation upon malleefowl Leipoa ocellata Gould, 1840, in the wake of reduced rabbit abundance caused by RCD. The study entails measurement of overall fox activity post-RCD, measurement of egg loss from malleefowl nests, and an assessment of any observable changes in fox diet. Measures of fox abundance/activity pre- and post- RCD suggest that the level of fox activity has not declined...

Mey, E..

Inter- and intrafamilial relationships among the Megapodiidae are presented and discussed based on their host-specific chewing louse fauna, in particular the Goniodidae (Ischnocera). Use is made of both empirical evidence and statistical methods. So far, 53 species of chewing lice have been described which are found only on megapodes, a number which is still growing. The relationships among the Goniodidae genera on megapodes have been analysed using Wagner parsimony analysis rooted by character polarity (51 morphological features). Based on their chewing lice, the Megapodiidae seem to be more closely related to the Phasianidae than to the Cracidae. Megapodes share no Ischnocera with the cracids, while they share a single genus Goniocotes Burmeister, 1838...

INTRODUCTION For the past thirty years I have, from time to time, come across bird material and literature records which have added localities and in a few instances have added new species, to Van Bemmel's (1948) list of birds of the Moluccan Islands and its supplement, published five years later (Van Bemmel & Voous, 1953). I have kept notes of these additions with the vague idea of perhaps, some time in the future, publishing a revised edition of the list of the avifauna of the Moluccas, zoogeographically one of the most interesting regions of the world. The sum total of my notes to date would hardly have justified publication, were it not for the fact that a new list of Moluccan birds was in the course of preparation by the late C. M. N. White, and...

Concern for the decline of the malleefowl Leipoa ocellata Gould, 1840, in the Gnowangerup Shire, Western Australia, lead to the formation, in August 1992, of the Malleefowl Preservation Group Inc. (MPG) which currently supports a membership in excess of 1500 individuals (January 1998). The group’s activities are carried out on a volunteer basis addressing projects such as annual field surveys and monitoring, community awareness, school education, feral animal eradication programs, reestablishment of native vegetation on farms and wildlife corridors.
