John,
The Australian Faunal Directory gives Calamanthus montanellus as a
synonym for C. campestris montanellus. If you would like a copy of the
AFD Aves checklist, I would be happy to send you a copy. It is has
pretty much all the synonyms extant for Australian species.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

Hi All,
further to Phil's comments on the IOC checklist etc, I have a question
for
those more knowledgable about subspecies than I.
In the IOC Checklist, the Western Fieldwren is listed as
C.montanellus, yet
from the info I have "montanellus" is not listed as a subspecies of
Rufous
Fieldwren (C. campestris, isabellinus, winiam, wayensis, rubiginosus,
hartogi and dorrie). Can someone shed some light on this?

Good to see some progress with the vexatious subject of the Australian
Checklist, I'd sure be happy to see the IOC adopted and then regular
updates as required.
I made my own Australian Checklist in 2008 when I had got tired of
waiting
20 years for the new C & B, and also wanted to separate out all the
distant
island territory records from the actual mainland species. I
published two
paper editions and now maintain it as an on-line free download. The
Nov
2011 version is available on the sicklebillsafaris website and I
will get
the new Jan 2012 version uploaded shortly. I basically follow the
IOC but
have some minor variations e.g. I can't see why all the Shrike-tits
are one
species, same for Ringneck Parrots. I have the grasswren splits and
the
quail-thrush changes all duly logged, and try to keep pace with the
vagrants!
If you'd like the latest e-version just drop me an email meantime.
There is also a New Guinea Checklist in the same series, and this is
steadily evolving as I work through species accounts for my
forthcoming
New Guinea field guide- recent research leads me to adopt splits for
both
Reddish and Biak Myzomela for example, also Buff-breasted Mouse
Warbler.
The Nov 2011 edition is also online as a free download at the
sicklebillsafaris website, and the Jan 2012 edition is due to be
uploaded
shortly.
Birders are welcome to make use of them and constructive comment is
likewise welcome- errors and omissions are my own and I'm happy to be
advised of same.
