WILLIAM COTTRELL Sylviidae Muscicapidae (sensu stricto) Maluridae Acanthizidae Monarchidae Eopsaltriidae By ERNST MAYR, MELVIN A. TRAYLOR, JR., AND GEORGE E. WATSON CAMBRIDGE + MASSACHUSETTS MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY 1986 COPYRIGHT 1986 BY THE PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGE INTRODUCTION Volume XI completes the Check-list of Birds of the World. Fifty-five years, thus, have passed between Volume I (1931) and this volume. When originally planned, Volume XI was to cover the “Old World Warblers (Sylviidae) and Old World Fly- catchers (Muscicapidae).” These two groups were not only ac- knowledged to be difficult, containing some very troublesome genera (like Phylloscopus and Cisticola), but had never been treated in their entirety since the Catalogue of the Birds of the British Museum, Volumes IV (1879), V (1881), and VII (1883). The terms “warblers” and “flycatchers,” as is now thought, designate the occupants of particular feeding niches. They do not necessarily refer to near relationship. The New World rep- resentatives of these two niches, the wood warblers (Paruli- dae) and the tyrant flycatchers (Tyrannidae), have long been separated from the Old World groups (Sylviidae and Musci- capidae), and this separation has not been challenged. The designation Muscicapidae was used in Check-list, Volumes X (1964) and XII (1967), in the broad sense of Hartert. It in- cluded thrushes, babblers, whistlers, and numerous aberrant groups. None of these is any longer included in the Musci- capidae as now delimited on the basis of the researches of Charles G. Sibley and others. Furthermore, it had long been suspected that the Australian warblers and flycatchers had no relationship to the Sylviidae and Muscicapidae, even though in their most conspicuous morphological characters (e.g., shape of bill) they were very similar indeed. Thus, in the absence of positive distinguishing characters and uncertainty as to other allocation, they were generally left with the Afro-Eurasian families. In recent years, however, the artificiality of this ar- rangement was so apparent that it became customary to rec- ognize two indigenous families for the Australasian warblers, Maluridae and Acanthizidae, one family for the monarch fly- catchers (Monarchidae), a sub-taxon for the fantail flycatch- ers (Rhipidurinae), and a family for the Australasian robins vil CHECK-LIST OF BIRDS OF THE WORLD (Eopsaltriidae). Although these taxa are on the whole reason- ably well characterized by life history characters and general habitus, there are few (if any) diagnostic morphological char- acters. Fortunately, the DNA hybridizing technique of Charles G. Sibley permits the establishment of a tentative classifica- tion of all the Australasian genera and families. Even though future modifications of this arrangement are not precluded, the scheme of branching pattern suggested by Sibley has been adopted by us. We regard it as a secure basis for future re- search. Determination of the best possible sequence of taxa and their ranking has always been a particular difficulty with avian species and genera. There is no regular progression from more primitive to more specialized types; indeed, a bush would rep- resent avian phylogeny much more realistically than a tree. The problem the avian cataloguer has to solve is in what se- quence to list the branches of this bush. Evidently an almost unlimited number of alternative arrangements is possible. In our own choice of the sequence we have attempted to follow three time-honored principles: (1) each species (genus) is listed as near to its closest relatives as possible, (2) taxa with seem- ingly more ancestral (“primitive”) characters are listed before those with more derived characters, and, most importantly, (3) widely accepted sequences are retained for the sake of stabil- ity, unless it can be clearly shown that they are contradicted by definite evidence. We do not doubt that the application of new molecular methods will in due time necessitate numbers of changes from the sequence and categorical ranks adopted by us. The Australasian families provided a particularly difficult problem. There was hardly a subspecies without at least one or several synonyms, mostly made by Gregory M. Mathews. Mayr decided to list in the synonymy all those names that were clearly without any merit whatsoever. A difficulty arose with respect to a second group of names, names given to slightly differing populations, particularly such on extensive clines. In reaction to Mathews’ uninhibited splitting, some recent Aus- tralian authors have gone to the opposite extreme and have recognized as subspecies only well-isolated populations with well-defined diagnostic characters, synonymizing all minor subspecies. Ultimately this may indeed be the most sensible INTRODUCTION vil policy. Mayr decided, however, not to follow this course, since he felt that at this time it would be of more help to make a distinction between altogether-useless names and those of mi- nor races. In due time, it may become the tradition to recog- nize only very well-marked subspecies, but by then the work- ers on Australasian birds will have learned that the names synonymized in this volume are altogether without merit. Since the first draft in the 1950s much splendid work on the clas- sification of Australasian birds has been done by Julian Ford, Allen Keast, Shane Parker, R. Schodde, G. M. Storr, and oth- ers, and the early drafts had to be revised repeatedly. There still are differences of opinion, even among the Australian workers themselves, and no doubt the listing as presented here is not the last word. In any case, Mayr feels that the group of active young Australian ornithologists should be considered the real authors of the parts on Australasian birds in this vol- ume rather than himself. The contributions of the three authors of this volume are divided on a geographical basis. Melvin Traylor is responsible for the treatment of the African taxa, George Watson for the Holarctic and Oriental taxa, and Ernst Mayr for the Austral- asian taxa. Work on the African and Australasian portions was begun in the 1950s, and Mayr over the years mailed various drafts of the Maluridae, Acanthizidae, Monarchidae, and Eopsaltri- idae to H. T. Condon, Julian Ford, A. Keast, A. R. McGill, G. F. Mees, Shane Parker, R. Schodde, D. L. Serventy, and G. M. Storr. Murray Bruce has made valuable contributions to the treatment of Wallacean taxa. Portions of the African material were read by C. W. Benson, B. P. Hall, and M. P. Stuart Irwin. The editors wish to acknowledge, with deep appreciation, the contribution made by Raymond A. Paynter, Jr. in fur- thering the printing of the volume, as well as the expert ed- itorial assistance of Helen Phillips, once again available, and the secretarial contribution of Alison Pirie.

Ptits Fauny SSSR, Passeriformes, p. 164, have maintained Phylloscopus schwarzi in the monotypic genus or subgenus Herbivocula on the ba- sis of structural, vocal, and egg-color characters. Many of the char- acters show an approach to Lusciniola or Acrocephalus and account for Seebohm’s (1881, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., 5, p. 121) treating Her- bivocula as a subgenus of Lusciniola. Ticehurst, 1938, p. 96, dem- onstrated that most of the structural characters were also found in armandii; Meise, 1934, Abh. Ber. Mus.

Végel, Lief. 8, on the basis of both field and museum experience concluded that schwarzi, armandii, and probably griseolus ought to be in the same subgenus. Since Seebohm adopted Herbivocula, which has page prior- ity over Oreopneuste (type armandii), as the subgenus for all the dusky leaf warblers of Asia, it hardly seems worthwhile to resuscitate the unused name Phaeorhadina Mathews and Iredale (1917, Austral Avian Rec., 3, p. 116, type Phillopneuste [sic] fuscata) for fuscatus, fuligi- venter, and affinis, which do not differ in any major way from ar- mandii and had usually been placed in the subgenus Oreopneuste with armandii and griseolus.—G.

Thus, Dubois’ proposal of the substitute name ce- buensis was unjustified. However, since the name cebuensis has been in unchallenged use for more than 50 years (actually 85 years) it has acquired the status of a nomen conservandum.—E. M. *The taxonomy of the Phylloscopus trivirgatus complex is still in flux. We recognize a superspecies, P. trivirgatus, with trivirgatus, sarasinorum, presbytes, poliocephalus, and makirensis as allospecies, but a thorough revision may raise several additional subspecies, on islands around New Guinea, to the rank of allospecies.—E. M. P. trivirgatus, olivaceus, and cebuensis are closely related but are sympatric on Negros Island, Philippines. It may eventually be found that some allopatric subspecies now in the highly variable trivirgatus species actually are more closely related to olivaceus and cebuensis (cf.

The Stresemanns also had difficulty in identifying volgensis (1968, pp. 303-314). They demonstrated that European (communis) and Asiatic (icterops) birds differ in molt and winter quarters. European birds have a complete molt on the breeding grounds in July and Au- gust before migration and a partial, mainly body molt in Africa. Asiatic birds undergo their complete molt in Africa in January—March and have a partial body molt in July. European birds winter north of Asiatic birds but their winter ranges overlap in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda.—G. E. W. 274 CHECK-LIST OF BIRDS OF THE WORLD Sylvia cinerea Bechstein, 1803, Ornith.

Vaurie states that the three species breed sympatrically in Iran and possibly also in Transcaspia, but William- son suggests that an area of intergradation occurs in southern Tur- key (curruca and althaea, possibly also in the Caucasus, caucasica, and southern Caspian district of Iran) and specimens intermediate between caucasica and minula have been collected on passage in Iraq, Iran, and Arabia. Lesser Whitethroats in the areas of purported hy- bridization or sympatry in Turkey, Iran, and Turkistan should be studied in the field and their voices recorded. I have examined the superb series of central Asian and western Chinese specimens in Leningrad and am convinced that this is a highly plastic species that responds morphologically to local environmental conditions. Brown- ish birds of moderate size occur in the taiga and forest zones of Eu- rope and Siberia (curruca), large, dark-grayish birds in mountains (caucasica, althaea, monticola), paler birds of moderate size in the forest steppe (telengitica, halimodendri), and pale birds, either very small or large, in the deserts (jaxartica, minula, margelanica, chuan- cheica).—G.

The status and range of this species are tentative. There has been much confusion in the literature between N. davidi and N. sundara. Both N. sundara denotata and N. davidi may breed in Szechwan and in the Ch’in Ling Mountains in southern Shensi and thus are distinct species. The slight color differences are more suggestive of subspe- cies, however, and the large size of davidi continues a west to east cline from sundara to denotata. For a discussion of the characters and range of davidi and sundara, see Dickinson, 1973, Nat. Hist. Bull. Siam Soc., 24, pp. 409-430.

"The four largely allopatric “species” cyaneus, melanotus, cal- lainus, and splendens are sometimes considered subspecies of a sin- gle species (cyaneus), sometimes four separate species or allospecies. However, the ranges of cyaneus and melanotus are said to overlap along the Murray River and the same is suspected for melanotus and callainus in the Flinders Range. In view of the rather striking dif- ferences in color and habitat utilization, it would seem best, for the time being, to treat them as allospecies in a superspecies (cyaneus), except for callainus, which interbreeds with splendens where they meet.—KE.
