I am wondering after my post...
..about this claim in the key.
Which is the synonym for Thalurania furcata jelskii and which for Thalurania furcata nigrofasciata?
Avibase here lumped Thalurania furcata rupicola with Thalurania furcata eriphile (Lesson, 1832). Here distinguish both by blackish steel-blue versus brown with white edges undertail coverts. So why is Thalurania furcata rupicola not accepted as seperate subspecies?
On the same species Sclater,PL, 1858, Gould, 1860 or Gould, 1861 was Thalurania tschudii. SACC wrote on this here:
If Thalurania furcata jelskii and Thalurania tschudii are synonyms shouldn't it than be Thalurania furcata tschudii Sclater, PL 1858 (even if he used Goulds MS)? Why is Dickinson 2003 not accepted?
