Two types of Turdinus kalulongae Sharpe, 1893, exist. The specimen at Tring is a lectotype, not a holotype as listed. The designation was indirect but consistent with the Rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. The case well illustrates the preciseness of the applicability of the Rules in action.

A list of about 110 names applied to Asian forms of species of orioles (family Oriolidae) is presented. 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.

Any exploration of the development of our knowledge of the distribution and nomenclature of the black-naped oriole produces a bewildering complex of names. It is the more complex because the origin of the specimen named Oriolus chinensis Linnaeus, 1766, was disputed. When it was proposed that the origin might be the Philippines this at first seemed to affect the nomenclature in India but not China. A new name then introduced proved to be preoccupied by one that rested on a description that seemed too flawed to be applicable. When it was finally determined that the Chinese breeding population needed a new name, and that this was the form that reached eastern parts of India as a migrant, the name changes proposed met such resistance that for nearly 60 years...

Asian orioles that have been reviewed since Greenway (1962) are discussed and recommendations are made for the recognition of subspecies. Reasons are provided for the split of Oriolus steerii Sharpe, 1877a, from Oriolus xanthonotus Horsfield, 1821, originally proposed in Dickinson et al. (1991) when such reasons were omitted. Problem areas remain and research is suggested, some morphological, some molecular.

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.

The Natural History Museum, Tring, holds type material from Japan upon which names were based by Gould, Gurney, Hargitt, Ingram, Mathews, Oates, Seebohm, Sharpe, Swinhoe, Tristram and Vigors. In most cases selected types, which are not necessarily lectotypes, have been listed by Warren (1966) or Warren & Harrison (1971), but we provide here information that has come to light during preparatory work on a list of types of all Japanese taxa. We have located types for a number of taxa for which they had not been identified or segregated, and lectotypes are here designated for three taxa to safeguard current nomenclatural practice.

A list of nearly 300 names applied to Asian forms of species of cuckoo-shrikes and minivets and their allies (family Campephagidae) is provided. This list provides information on the whereabouts of a type; 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. Lectotypes are designated for the following: Phoenicornis affinis McClelland, 1840; Muscicapa flammea Forster, 1781; Phoenicornis elegans Horsfield, 1840.

Hypotheses of iora phylogeny are reviewed up to date, and the history of the generic name investigated. Interactions between A. nigrolutea and A. tiphia are examined and reasons presented for treating them as separate species. The allowability of a widely disjunct distribution in subspecies A. tiphia deignani Hall, 1957 is queried, and its range narrowed substantially, forcing a re-designation of Indian populations. Additional, small systematic and distributional issues bearing on other Aegithina species are noticed.

Hypotheses of family phylogeny are summarized up to date, and amendments made to the treatment by Delacour (1960) of Chloropsis and Irena in Peters’s Check-list of Birds of the World (Mayr & Greenway, 1960), at and below species level. Revision of species-limits within C. cochinchinensis (Gmelin, 1789) and C. aurifrons (Temminck, 1829) as defined in Delacour (1960) restores three ultra-taxa to species rank, boosting the global list of leafbird species to 11. Certain range and nomenclatural issues are resolved, including re-designation of the type locality of Turdus cochinchinensis, type species of Chloropsis. A new subspecies name is introduced as an outcome.

A list of about 280 names applied to Asian forms of species of crows (family Corvidae) is presented. 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. For technical reasons we herein re-restrict the type locality of both Dendrocitta himalayana Jerdon and Dendrocitta himalayensis Blyth.

A list is provided of the 165 names applied to identifiable Asian forms of species of lark (family Alaudidae). This list summarises our collective knowledge on the whereabouts of types for these names; where our information does not include reliable data we provide notes relating to the deficit and to stimulate others to send us additional data or to suggest sources of information. In two appendices we deal with certain old names that we judge to be indeterminate and we designate a lectotype for Eremophila sibirica (Swinhoe, 1871b).

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.

The type-series of Sitta sinensis Verreaux, 1871, included two specimens now housed in the collections of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (MNHN), Paris, which belong to two different taxa, Sitta sinensis and Sitta montium La Touche, 1899, one currently known as S. europaea sinensis Verreaux and the other usually treated as a synonym of S. nagaensis nagaensis Godwin-Austin, 1874. Lectotypes are selected for S. sinensis Verreaux, 1871 and S. montium La Touche, 1899.

Certain Asian species of corvids, mainly those that have been reviewed since 1962, are discussed and attention is drawn to recommended changes in subspecific or specific status. Problem areas remain and research is suggested, some morphological, some molecular and some into voice. The rationale behind the ongoing revision of Corvus macrorhynchos is explained, but it is recommended that it be considered hypothetical and further developments awaited so that all relevant taxa can be assigned safely to species.

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...
