BOW Key (1 Viewer)

[kweetal]

I still hope to dig up 'new-to-the-Key' names but these are mostly just more typos/mistakes, I think. Ah well - they're published & unfindable / not in the Key-Index so maybe they'd be useful there.

Thanks, Erikjan. All added to The Key, except non-avian Prionocheilus in Coleoptera and Callista in Mollusca.

Again, I am not sure if these are belong in the Key but I had to shake them out anyway to improve the manuscript so here are all lapsus in the bold lines, the lemmata as it were, of Peters' Checklist:

[James Jobling]

Still burrowing away, Erikjan. I admire your persistence. Some of these were already in The Key (probably from the "old days" when I ploughed through Peters: Entomedestes, Chasiempsis, Molothru) and I have added the rest.

 

[l_raty]

Some of these were already in The Key (probably from the "old days" when I ploughed through Peters: Entomedestes, Chasiempsis, Molothru)

...or from a completely different source where the same misspelling was used coincidentally.
In my files, I have Chasiempsis as a misspelling used by Bonaparte in 1850, and Entomedestes as a misspelling used by Todd in 1931.
I probably got these from Neave.

 

[James Jobling]

In addition to the Index of English Names of Type Species (see #126) (search ZZZ) I have now created an Index of Scientific Names of Type Species (search ZZY) for The Key.

EDIT 1: Laurent (below #191) is correct, of course. I shouldn't rush headlong into these things - too many late nights staring into bright screens - I need a holiday!

Despite what Peters wrote about it -- "[nominative plural]" -- I'm afraid it's not plural at all, but actually a dative singular.

[kweetal]

In the abbreviations page of the Key, it says:

Late Med.

L. Late Mediaeval Latin

when what was probably meant is:

Late Med. L.

Late Mediaeval Latin

The same 'accident' happened with 'Med.' which should be 'Med. L.', I think.

-kweetal

 

[James Jobling]

You are correct re Med., L. etc. I cannot effect the alterations, and had already brought these to the attention of Cornell IT (and before that, to Lynx), but there seems to be a problem. I shall try again when next in touch with Cornell IT.

 

[kweetal]

The KEY has a convention of UPPERCASE for 'Current genus' and therefore I'm wondering: what exactly does 'current genus ' mean?

One would assume UPPERCASE names are names as currently in use in BOW (=eBird/Clements?) but the below names are in the Key in upper case but do not occur in any of the 4 world lists (IOC, eBird/Clements, H&M, HBW)

Ruwenzorornis
Stictocerthia
Nyctagreus
Melanotrochilus
Eugymnomyza
Spizastur
Piprisoma
Stelgidocichla
Phasidus
Kubaryum
Pseudoptynx
Rhamphomantis
Amoromyza
Antiurus
Spermagra
Lophochroa
Clytoceyx
Thamnocharis
Coryphotriccus
Dendroscansor
Neophilydor
Scardafella
Mimizuku
Thermochalcis

Can you throw light on this?

Thanks,

-kweetal

 

[l_raty]

Can you throw light on this?

These look like names that were in use in the HBW book series.

 

[James Jobling]

Erikjan,

You raise an important point. GENERA should mirror the taxonomy of BOW (i.e. genera currently recognised by them). Most of the names you list were brought across unchanged from my MS (based on HBW and other references), and I have yet to review them and cross-check the associated specific names, subspecific names and synonyms. Some others are new names which I considered would be recognised by BOW in due course – hope springs eternal!

Erikjan

An interesting little group. The diphthong in œnicaudus is not very well printed in Peters, IV, p. 55, but is visible under closer scrutiny in my copy. I am treating abessynicus, camerunense, ensiferus, porphyreolopha, rufidorsus, semicaeruleus, and westralasianus as new or additional definitions.
