Everything is connected . In the Amazilia tzacatl thread I posted Sclater's comment: "however, De la Llave's specific name "mocinno" (intended to immortalize an illustrious Mexican of that name). is rather unpleasing, I trust that the term paradiseus may have been previously applied to it by Prince Bonaparte. The Prince assigns the date of 1826 to the publication of this name in his ' Conspectus,' but gives no reference, and I cannot find out where this name was first employed." The 1826 publication must have been the article in the Contributions of the Maclurian Lyceum journal which was never published. Evidently Bonaparte used paradiseus for the Rufous-tailed Hummingbird as well as the finch.

I'm unsure why the material in diagram form illustrated with the Science Direct abstract is included on that web page given that it is totally unreadable. There may be some geek-knowledge that provides a simple method of getting round this problem, and I'd be grateful for any advice, but surely the prime purpose of the on-screen presentation is to garner interest and not to p### off visitors?

Try this link to the original artwork (which I found by examining the source code for the web page):

Of note, a slightly broader Carpodacus than suggested by Zuccon et al – retaining erythrinus, and subsuming Haematospiza and Chaunoproctus.

Due to lack of specimens of the latter two genera, making any split premature?

Carpodacus
All were sampled by Zuccon et al, Mike. Presumably just down to individual judgement/preference when deciding how deeply to split genera – the comments note that George Sangster recommended the retention of erythrinus, and the phylogeny then dictates the inclusion of Haematospiza/Chaunoproctus.

...No one has questioned the treatment of N.

Melo, M, Stervander M, Hansson B. Sympatric speciation in the Gulf of Guinea islands finches is supported by multiple independent molecular markers. XIV Congress of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology. Lisbon, 2013.
Summary:
Sympatric speciation is contentious and convincing examples from nature remain very scarce. Here we present multiple lines of molecular evidence supporting a sympatric origin for one of the most enigmatic birds in the world, the São Tomé grosbeak Crithagra concolor. This endemic from São Tomé Island, Gulf of Guinea, was initially placed in a monotypic genus, Neospiza. Mitochondrial data placed it as sister to the Príncipe seedeater Crithagra rufobrunneus, a Gulf of Guinea endemic with populations on the islands of São Tomé, Príncipe and Boné de Jóquei. For 29-30 seedeaters (9-10 per population), three grosbeak samples and outgroups we sequenced mitochondrial markers (c. 1000 bp), 27 nuclear introns and 6 exons (c. 20,000 bp), and we genotyped 33 microsatellite loci. All molecular markers inferred a closer relationship between the São Tomé grosbeak and the seedeater population from São Tomé, than between all three allopatric seedeater populations. Mitochondrial markers had a strong phylogenetic signal (no shared haplotypes, c. 2.5% sequence divergence between the sympatric grosbeak and seedeater). In contrast, lineage sorting of the nuclear markers was incomplete (albeit unique grosbeak mutations were also present). This pattern is consistent with sympatric speciation followed by incomplete lineage sorting of the nuclear markers rather than with past hybridization events (that would have homogenised the mtDNA faster than the nDNA).
