Papuan Birder has just sent me a message about the Beehler article. Should be really interesting and finally publish some official results of the Foja expeditions, but I wonder if it would carry some descriptions of the newly found taxa.

OK, good to know. He has quite a few descriptions to go before his new guide will come out.

Ah, is that what has been delaying the guide? Makes sense.
Do we know if the taxa in the BOC article are species or subspecies?

- Mountain Mouse-warbler Crateroscelis robusta diamondi (Foja Mountains, Papua, Indonesia).
[Also suggests future consideration for elevation to species status of the 'buff-breasted group' (sanfordi, bastille), and possibly also the 'pale-washed group' (deficiens, peninsularis).]
- Goldenface Pachycare flavogriseum lecroyae (Bewani & Torricelli Mountains, PNG).

So in which group would diamondi fall? The pale-washed one?

Just noticed that Beehler & Prawiradilaga don't mention/map ripleyi, eg, Gregory 2007 (HBW12):

Diamondi is in the nominate, dimorphic 'white-throated group' (robusta, pratti, diamondi, and "undescribed Kumawa Mountains form characterised by Diamond 1985").

No, in the white-throated group (robusta) along with pratti and the undescribed Kumawa Mountains form.
... and the birds seen around Tari seem to be robusta and not sanfordi (in case you wonder).

I did wonder! I heard them there... only saw it at Kumul Lodge (Enga). I know what you're thinking: get a subscription!
