Sorry, that should be:
This classification was picked up subsequently by del Hoyo & Collar (2014), who
ARE quoted by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species ...

Hi John,
A quick look at the literature:
Zanda was a subgenus of the genus Calyptorhynchus. But DNA studies by White et
al. (2011) suggested that Zanda should be separated from Calyptorhynchus and
elevated to genus level. This classification was picked up subsequently by del
Hoyo & Collar (2014), who are not quoted by the IUCN Red List of Threatened
Species http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2012-1.RLTS.T22684739A38977158.en and
Winkler et al. (2015) (my copy also arrived in the post yesterday).

I have just received my copy of the Bird Families of the World, from the HBW
people. Magnificent volume!
Anyway, I see they use Zanda as the generic name for the Yellow-tailed and two
White-tailed Cockatoos.
When did this happen? I'd like to know as it affects my online persona (I'll
have to become Zanda now, solemn and mournful, not noisy and gregarious).
