2· 2·3 †1·2·4

Lafresnaye, 1842 1·2 Genetic studies537, 675, 1952 indicate that this monospecific genus is basal to all other passerines.

1. Acanthisitta chloris

Rifleman

HBW 9: 472

French: Xénique grimpeur / German: Grünstummelschwanz / Spanish: Acantisita verdoso Taxonomic notes. Sitta chloris Sparrman, 1787, “Cape of Good Hope”; error = Queen Charlotte Sound, South Island, New Zealand. Morphological differences between races are minor and poorly understood; further study needed. Supposedly larger, more yellowish birds in SW of range (Fiordland) described as race citrina, but considered indistinguishable from nominate. Two subspecies recognized. Subspecies and Distribution. • A. c. granti Mathews & Iredale, 1913 – North I and outliers, New Zealand. • A. c. chloris (Sparrman, 1787) – South I, Stewart I and outliers.

Xenicus gilviventris Pelzeln, 1867, mountains of South Island, New Zealand. Plumage appears to vary clinally, males becoming brighter from N to S; supposedly smaller, more greenish birds in S (Fiordland) described as race rineyi, but now considered only a bright morph.

3· 48·90

Bonaparte, 1854 18·28 Along with Hydrornis, previously included within Pitta, but genetic study351 suggests that recognition of three genera is more appropriate.

1. Erythropitta erythrogaster

Philippine Pitta

HBW 8: 153 as Pitta erythrogaster

French: Brève à ventre rouge / German: Philippinen-Blaubrustpitta / Spanish: Pita ventrirroja Other common names: Blue-breasted Pitta, Red-bellied Pitta (when lumped with species recently split from it) Taxonomic notes. Pitta erythrogaster Temminck, 1823, Manila, Luzon, Philippines. Formerly considered conspecific with E. inspeculata, E. caeruleitorques, E. palliceps, E. celebensis, E. dohertyi, E. rufiventris, E. rubrinucha, E. macklotii, E. meeki, E. gazellae, E. splendida and E. novaehibernicae. Recent molecular study836 proposed split of this complex into these 13 species, as well as four others not recognized as species herein (yairocho, piroensis, habenichti, finschii). Same study divided all populations herein included in present species into two species: E. erythrogaster, comprising two races, propinqua (Palawan and Balabac) and nominate (rest of Philippines except Sulu Is); and E. yairocho (Sulu Is). Subsequent morphological analysis352 supported the breaking up of traditional E. erythrogaster into numerous different species, but relegated both propinqua and yairocho to synonyms of erythrogaster. Proposed race thompsoni (Calauit and Culion, in W Philippines) also regarded as a synonym. Whole complex is closely related to E. kochi. Monotypic. Distribution. Philippine Is, including Palawan and Balabac.

2. Erythropitta inspeculata

Talaud Pitta

HBW 8: 153 as Pitta erythrogaster inspeculata

French: Brève des Talaud / German: Talaud-Blaubrustpitta / Spanish: Pita de las Talaud Taxonomic notes. Pitta inspeculata A. B. Meyer & Wiglesworth, 1894, Kabaruang and Salebabu, Talaud Islands. Formerly considered conspecific with E. erythrogaster (which see); split of present species is supported by its morphological distinctiveness352. Monotypic. Distribution. Talaud Is.

3. Erythropitta caeruleitorques

Sangihe Pitta

HBW 8: 153 as Pitta erythrogaster caeruleitorques

French: Brève des Sangir / German: Sangihe-Blaubrustpitta / Spanish: Pita de las Sangihe Taxonomic notes. Pitta caeruleitorques Salvadori, 1876, Petta, Sangihe Besar, Sangihe Islands. Formerly considered conspecific with E. erythrogaster (which see); split of present species is supported by its morphological distinctiveness352. Monotypic. Distribution. Sangihe Besar I.

4. Erythropitta palliceps

Siau Pitta

HBW 8: 153 as Pitta erythrogaster palliceps

French: Brève de Siau / German: Siau-Blaubrustpitta / Spanish: Pita de Siau Taxonomic notes. Pitta palliceps Brüggemann, 1876, Siau, Sangihe Islands. Formerly considered conspecific with E. erythrogaster (which see); split of present species is supported by its morphological distinctiveness352. Monotypic. Distribution. Islands of Siau and Tahulandang, N of Sulawesi.

5. Erythropitta celebensis

Sulawesi Pitta

HBW 8: 153 as Pitta erythrogaster celebensis

French: Brève des Célèbes / German: Sulawesi-Blaubrustpitta / Spanish: Pita de Célebes Taxonomic notes. Pitta celebensis S. Müller & Schlegel, 1845, Tondano, Sulawesi. Formerly considered conspecific with E. erythrogaster (which see); split of present species is supported by its morphological distinctiveness352. Monotypic. Distribution.

French: Brève des Sula / German: Sula-Blaubrustpitta / Spanish: Pita de Sula Taxonomic notes. Pitta dohertyi Rothschild, 1898, Mangole, Sula Islands. Formerly considered conspecific with E. erythrogaster (which see); split of present species is supported by its morphological distinctiveness352. Earlier treatment of dohertyi as a distinct species on basis of vocal and plumage characters993 was subsequently rejected128. Monotypic. Distribution. Banggai Archipelago and Sula Is, E of Sulawesi.

7. Erythropitta rufiventris

North Moluccan Pitta

TWO WORKS IN ONE! 2. X. gilviventris New Zealand Rockwren

HBW 8: 153 as Pitta erythrogaster rufiventris

French: Brève des Moluques / German: Nordmolukken-Blaubrustpitta / Spanish: Pita moluqueña septentrional Taxonomic notes. Coloburis rufiventris Heine, 1860, no locality = Bacan. Formerly considered conspecific with E. erythrogaster (which see); split of present species, with well-marked race cyanonota and very weak race bernsteini, is supported by its morphological distinctiveness352. Form obiensis (Obi) tentatively included within nominate, but possible vocal and morphological differences1790 indicate that it may merit recognition at subspecies level, at least. Three subspecies currently recognized. Subspecies and Distribution. • E. r. cyanonota (G. R. Gray, 1861) – TernaTe PiTTa – Ternate, off W Halmahera. • E. r. rufiventris (Heine, 1860) – norTh Moluccas PiTTa – N Moluccas (Morotai, Halmahera, Moti, Bacan, Mandioli, Damar, Obi, probably also Kasiruta). • E. r. bernsteini (Junge, 1958) – Gebe I (between Halmahera and Waigeo).

ABOUT HBW

ERYTHROPITTA

French: Brève de Buru / German: Südmolukken-Blaubrustpitta / Spanish: Pita moluqueña meridional Taxonomic notes. Pitta rubrinucha Wallace, 1862, Buru. Formerly considered conspecific with E. erythrogaster (which see); recent molecular study836 elevated both of currently recognized races to species status, but, while split of present species is supported by its morphological distinctiveness, the further split of piroensis has been judged insufficiently justified due to closeness in plumage and structure352. Two subspecies recognized. Subspecies and Distribution. • E. r. rubrinucha (Wallace, 1862) – Buru PiTTa – Buru, in S Moluccas. • E. r. piroensis (Muir & Kershaw, 1910) – seraM PiTTa – Seram.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

It is a complete checklist with new and exciting taxonomy produced by a comprehensive review of the taxonomic literature and the application of quantitative criteria for recognising species limits. AND It is a compact version of HBW with updated taxonomy, texts, illustrations and maps for all of the birds of the world, all in two volumes.

HBW 8: 153 as Pitta erythrogaster rubrinucha

The Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) is the first work ever to illustrate and deal in detail with all the living species of birds. The 17-volume encyclopaedia contains texts and illustrations from 277 authors and 33 illustrators from 40 countries. The highly acclaimed series is the starting point for this Checklist, so the project already includes the work of a large group of specialists from around the world.

HBW 8: 153 as Pitta erythrogaster macklotii

French: Brève de Macklot / German: Papua-Blaubrustpitta / Spanish: Pita de Nueva Guinea Taxonomic notes. Pitta Macklotii Temminck, 1834, Lobo, Triton Bay, south-west New Guinea. Formerly considered conspecific with E. erythrogaster (which see). In recent molecular study836, the populations herein comprising present species were divided into three distinct species: macklotii, with races digglesi and loriae (with possible races aruensis and kuehni included in nominate macklotii, and oblita in loriae); habenichti; and finschii. Arrangement here follows morphological analysis352 that supports distinctiveness of present species, and resurrects race oblita; it finds habenichti weakly and finschii fairly strongly distinct (latter most closely allied to loriae). Race digglesi (yorkii is a synonym) appears weakly marked and its validity needs further study. Six subspecies recognized. Subspecies and Distribution. • E. m. habenichti (Finsch, 1912) – haBenichT’s PiTTa – N New Guinea (Weyland Mts E to Astrolabe Bay). • E. m. macklotii (Temminck, 1834) – PaPuan PiTTa – W & S New Guinea, including W Papuan Is (Waigeo, Batanta, Salawati, Misoöl) and Yapen I (in Geelvink Bay), Kai Is and Aru Is. • E. m. digglesi (Krefft, 1869) – NE Australia (N & E Cape York Peninsula). • E. m. oblita (Rothschild & E. J. O. Hartert, 1912) – mountains of upper R Aroa, in SE New Guinea. • E. m. loriae (Salvadori, 1890) – extreme SE New Guinea (E from R Kumusi and Cloudy Bay). • E. m. finschii (E. P. Ramsay, 1884) – D’enTrecasTeaux PiTTa – D’Entrecasteaux Archipelago (Fergusson I, Goodenough I).

In this Checklist, with the guidance of many genetic studies and the aid of the scoring system employed to evaluate differences in morphology, vocalizations, ecology and geographical relationships, the number of taxonomic changes for the passerines has been significantly high. At present (totals may change slightly before publication), the current volume has 41 lumps and 628 splits, compared with the taxonomy presented in the HBW series. Groups with major changes in species numbers include:

ssp finschii

French: Brève de Nouvelle-Irlande / German: Neuirland-Blaubrustpitta / Spanish: Pita de Nueva Irlanda Taxonomic notes. Pitta novae-hibernicae E. P. Ramsay, 1878, New Ireland. Formerly considered conspecific with E. erythrogaster (which see); recent molecular study836 separated present species, with extima as a race, and this arrangement is supported by morphological analysis352. Two subspecies recognized. Subspecies and Distribution. • E. n. extima (Mayr, 1955) – New Hanover, in Bismarck Archipelago. • E. n. novaehibernicae (E. P. Ramsay, 1878) – New Ireland and (perhaps this race) Djaul I.

Convenient totals for all extant and extinct taxa. Each species conveniently cross-referenced to the volume and page of treatment in the HBW series. Revised species names in French, German and Spanish, and other common names in English when appropriate. Colour-coded subspecies groups marked to highlight distinct forms and their relationships. Completely updated at the macrosystematic, genus, species and subspecies levels. Changes and other relevant issues fully explained under taxonomic notes of each species. Detailed descriptions of ranges for all species and subspecies. Official IUCN category of each species from the 2016 BirdLife International/IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.* Reference numbers included in text with complete bibliographical list at the end of the volume. Plate layout subtly divided by species and genera for a clearer arrangement. Colour illustrations for all species, including for distinctive subspecies and morphs, from the HBW series with numerous corrections and new figures. Newly revised distribution maps with country borders included. *Those included in sample page subject to change before publication.
