    Zorca (zonca) While giving the all unexplained Zelica a try, I happened to stumble uppon ... • the Generic name Zorca "S.D.W." (?) 1836 (here), in Strigidae, (from January 1836)... which is prior to "(C. T. Wood 1837)"* as per today's HBW Alive Key: A name that Charles W. Richmond (1908)...

    So ... von Müller's Beiträge zur Ornithologie Afrika's (the German edition) ... is still "unseen". Sigh! A bit disappointing. James, any need to keep looking for it? Or is the French edition enough? Björn PS. Perdicula should be able to find in London, see post #250. __

    "diagnosis not seen" for genus names in the Key A through S

    Sorry Mark, that one is Th. v. Heuglin's Forschungen über die Fauna des Rothen Meeres und der Somáli-Küste (Ein systematisches Verzeichniss der Säugethiere und Vögel), here, in full view ... not the OD. Keep searching!

    "diagnosis not seen" for genus names in the Key A through S

    James, I assume Sakesphoroides Grantsau 2010 is still "not seen" (since not quoted in today's Key), or? Surely somebody, of all the readers of BirdForum, must have this fairly recent (major) Work on Brazilian birds [Guia completo para identificação das aves do Brasil, in two volumes, 2010] ...

    So; what's still missing, James, at this point? Twenty-something ... Give us a full, short, last list, I'm pretty sure some of the keen trackers here on BirdForum can find at least one, or a few, of them. And possibly save you some interminable library time!?

    You´re welcome James, To me it is misspelled: leucocphala ... See attached close-up. /B PS. I would assume that an erudite person, like Cabanis, wasn't personally responsible for any of those/such typos! --
