Zanda?

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
