Hugo,
Howard and Moore uses cirrhocepahlus with the note "The emended name used here is judged to be in prevailing usage: see Art 33.2 of the Code (I.C.Z.N., 1999)"
Obviously going to be an ongoing problem.
Cheers,
Peter

Hi everybody -

Can anyone tell me the 'correct' , or possibly the 'currently consensually accepted' , specific name for the Collared Sparrowhawk? Both HANZAB 2 and Christidis & Boles have 'cirrhocephalus' while many others, including the Sibley & Monroe checklist, have 'cirrocephalus'. Is one of these more 'correct' than the other? Is one just a viral typo? Clarification of why there are two widespread spellings would be welcome.

Thanks,
Hugo
