Subspecies of Macropygia amboinensis on Aru Islands

["John Murray Penhallurick" <>]

Hi all,

Can anyone tell what subspecies of Slender-billed Cuckoo-Dove Macropygia
amboinensis breeds on the Aru Islands.

No recent subspecies lists (e.g.Dickinson(2003), Clements(2007), Peters
(1937) mention Aru Islands.  Salvadori (1893), includes Aru Islands in the
distribution of M.a.doreya.  But in zoogeographical terms, it could be
M.a.keyensis of the Kai Islands.

Thanks,



John Penhallurick
