Moltesen, Irestedt, Fjeldså, Ericson & Jønsson (in press). Molecular phylogeny of Chloropseidae and Irenidae – cryptic species and biogeography. Mol Phylogenet Evol. [abstract]

Based on our molecular findings, plumage distinctiveness and contemporary distributions we propose that several subspecies be recognized at the species level.

Chloropseidae:

• Chloropsis (aurifrons) insularis
• Chloropsis (cyanopogon) septentrionalis
• Chloropsis (cochinchinensis) moluccensis (incl chlorocephala, kinneari, auropectus, serithai, viridinucha)
• Chloropsis (hardwickii) melliana

Irenidae:

• Irena (cyanogastra) ellae
• Irena (cyanogastra) hoogstraali
• Irena (puella) andamanica
• Irena (puella) tweeddalei

[Irena cyanogastra melanochlamys not sampled.]​

can anyone with access tell us what's split please? It's really annoying being between institutions without access!!

 

[dnsallen]

Wow, suggested Philippine splits are coming thick and fast this week!

 

[Jacana]

Thanks Richard, no splits for me this time then...

There seems to be a slight glitch:
p913 'Today I. c. ellae occurs on Samar, Leyte and Bohol and I. c. hoogstraali occurs on Dinagat and Mindanao islands.'

but table 1 p 906
'Irena cyanogastra ellae ZMUC105602 Dinagat'

The bluebird on Dinagat should be hoogstraali (Dickinson et al. 1991) as would be expected biogeographically. That would give only one specimen of ellae - from Bohol.

Chloropsis (cyanopogon) septentrionalis

cyanopogon in south Malaysia peninsula and septentrionalis in north Malaysia peninsula. Is it known where about in Malaysia peninsula the split happens??
