I have just been looking at my copy of White et al. (2011) and they do
not appear to suggest that /Calyptorhynchus/ be separated into two
separate genera but rather say their DNA work supports Schodde's (1997)
recognition of the two subgenera - /C. (Calyptorhynchus)/ and /C.
(Zanda)/ - on page 620, 2nd paragraph of the paper.
So if the subsequent authors are suggesting the recognition of two
separate genera that must be be their decision rather than one made by
White et al.
cheers,
Mike Owen
