Hi Colin
Melithreptus chloropsis is listed as a full species on the ION (Index
of Organism Names) database, so it must be kosher. The ION is the
international arbiter of Zoological and Mycological species and it is
up to them to decide if a species stands or not.
I don't think there will be another edition of C&B, I think 2 editions
was enough for them. It will probably be up to other authors to take
up the challenge. Perhaps it will appear in a new edition of HANZAB,
but I don't think that will happen in the little tenure I have left on
life.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

Hello birders.
So, is the Swan River (or Western) Honeyeater now an official tick?
What's the procedure in between editions of Christidis and Boles?
Is this a matter for BARC to buy into?

Subject: [Birding-Aus] White-naped Honeyeater Split
Following previous discussion on Birding-Aus on the possible split,
the
latest IOC list v 2.6 has split the White-naped Honeyeater
(Melithreptus
lunatus) into the Swan River Honeyeater (Melithreptus chloropsis),
which
occurs in SW Western Australia (N to Swan River Plain and Wheatbelt
in W).

Bruce
