oops, sorry, I merged whipbirds with jewel-babblers in one family in
my previous note, here is the correct version, and a note about
bristlebirds:
The remaining species, the former members of Eupetidae, now constitute
two new families, the whipbirds and wedgebills (Psophodidae) for the
genera Androphobusand Psophodes; and the quail-thrushes and jewel-
babblers (Cinclosomatidae) for the genera Cinclosoma and Ptilorrhoa.
Position the Psophodidae and Cinclosomatidae immediately following the
Wattlebirds (Callaeidae) and the Stitchbird (Notiomystidae).
Page 517, Bristlebirds (Dasyornis)
The three species of bristlebirds earlier were classified as members
of Acanthizidae (Thornbills and allies). They now have been
demonstrated to be a separate family, the Dasyornithidae. Place the
Dasyornithidae between the Honeyeaters (Meliphagidae) and the
Pardalotes (Pardalotidae).
