Then I wrote My position is that the earliest publication was either 1853 or 1854. Then Mr. Kirwan wrote Then submit something for publication! www.birdforum does not constitute a repository that will be searched by tomorrow’s, never mind the less immediate future’s, nomenclaturists—H&M4 will be. Now coming from Zoological Bibliography Vol. 4, No. 6
Hordowski, J. & S.M.S. Gregory. – The avian genus-group name Clanga Adamowicz dates from 1854. In prep. I look forward to its publication.

Contrasting patterns of genetic diversity and lack of population structure in the lesser spotted eagle Clanga pomarina (Aves: Accipitriformes) across its breeding range
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society (advance online publication)

Characterizing the genetic diversity and structure of populations is essential for understanding their evolutionary history and planning species conservation. The lesser spotted eagle (Clanga pomarina) is a large migratory raptor with a relatively small breeding range concentrated in Eastern Europe. We evaluated the level of genetic diversity and population structuring by estimating the length diversity of 23 microsatellite markers in 306 individuals and sequencing 473 nucleotides from the mitochondrial pseudo-control region in 265 individuals across the distribution range. The microsatellite data suggested shallow differentiation between geographical regions and moderate genetic diversity across the range; no recent population bottlenecks were detected. Mitochondrial diversity was relatively low; however, high values were recorded at the southern edge of the distribution range. This, in combination with the star-like distribution of mitochondrial haplotypes, suggests the expansion of the European population from a single (Balkan) refugium during the late Pleistocene or early Holocene after the glacial population bottleneck. However, the Caucasian population may have survived in a separate refugium. We conclude that the lack of clear population structuring and ongoing gene flow across Europe support the treatment of the geographically restricted global population of the lesser spotted eagle as a single evolutionary and conservation unit.

Implications for Indian Spotted?

 

[Jacana]

Previous genetic work found that it was pretty distinct. Certainly, better sampling of hastata would be beneficial, but there's no reason to suggest that this new work should call into question Indian Spotted's status.
