Thanks Carlos. Really huge update!

Splits:
Ortalis araucuan and O. squamata, split of O. guttata

Typo in the checklist: O. aracuan

"Typo in the checklist: O. aracuan"
I cannot find Spix's Aves Brasilienses. But printed near the same time is Avium species novae.
http://www.biodiversityheritagelibrary.org/item/128667#page/255/mode/1up . On the drawing it is spelled aracuan but in the written part it is spelled araucuan. (Page 56)

The typo in the checklist is understandable as the Portuguese name for Chachalaca is Aracuã. From my point of view it is the original name (by Spix?) that was erroneously spelled...
