Hi All,
I have been looking to find out why it is that the Comb-crested Jacana is
given different scientific names in a number of field guides. The following
are the three examples i have found to date. Sorry most of my questions are
stupid but I hope you can help on this one.
1. Michael Morcombe Field Guide to Australian Birds list the bird as
Metopidius (Irediparra) gallinacea
2. The Graham Pizzey & Frank Knight Field Guide to the Birds of Australia
list the bird as Irediparra gallinacea
3. The Slater Field Guide to Australian Birds (latest revised and updated
edition) lists the bird as Jacana gallinacea
Yours Sincerely
Mr Jade Welch
Gold Coast,
