[QUOTE="Jim LeNomenclatoriste, post: 3779497, member: 133735"] [URL="http://jboyd.net/Taxo/changes.html"]TiF Update October 24[/URL] I've made many changes in the babbler clade based on the recent paper by Cai et al. (2018). Most of the changes have been minor. Nonetheless, there have been changes to Sylviidae, Paradoxornithidae, Timaliidae, Pellorneidae, Alcippeidae, and Leiothrichidae. Zosteropidae will be affected too, but things are more complex there and with one exception will wait for a later update. The following changes deserve mention: The Abyssinian Catbird, [I]Parophasma galinieri[/I], becomes [I]Sylvia galinieri[/I]. (Sylviidae) [I]Atraphornis [/I]and [I]Melizophilus [/I]have been separated from [I]Curruca[/I]. (Sylviidae) The Reed Parrotbill, [I]Paradoxornis heudei[/I], becomes [I]Calamornis heudei[/I]. (Paradoxornithidae) [I]Cholornis [/I]has been merged into [I]Conostoma[/I]. (Paradoxornithidae) [I]Neosuthora [/I]has been merged into [I]Suthora[/I]. (Paradoxornithidae) [I]Sinosuthora [/I]has been merged into [I]Chleuasicus[/I]. (Paradoxornithidae) The White-collared Yuhina, [I]"Yuhina" diademata[/I], becomes [I]Parayuhina diademata[/I]. (Zosteropidae) [I]Trichastoma [/I]has been resplit from [I]Pellorneum[/I]. (Pellorneidae) I was previously doubtful about where the two species of [I]Melanocichla [/I]belonged, but not nearly doubtful enough. [I]Melanocichla [/I]has been moved to Timaliidae from Leiothrichidae. (Leiothrichidae) [I]Malcolmia, Chatarrhaea[/I], and [I]Malacocircus [/I]are subsumed in [I]Argya[/I]. (Leiothrichidae) [I]Kupeornis [/I]has been merged into [I]Phyllanthus[/I]. (Leiothrichidae) [I]Stactocichla [/I]merged into [I]Leucodioptron[/I]. (Leiothrichidae) [Sylvioidea III, 3.08] I'm not opposed to split [I]Adophoneus [/I](type: [I]Sylvia nisoria[/I]), [I]Adornis [/I](type: [I]Motacilla hortensis [/I]) and [I]Parisoma [/I](type: S[I]ylvia subcaerulea[/I]) from [I]Curruca [/I] I kept [I]Cholornis [/I]and [I]Neosuthora [/I]as distinct genera, but merged [I]Sinosuthora [/I]into [I]Chleuasicus[/I] Following Boyd, I've split [I]Trichastoma[/I] from [I]Pellorneum[/I] , but placed [I]malaccense[/I] and [I]cinereiceps[/I] in [I]Anuropsis[/I] Many of his change look similar to mine.
