CHECK-LIST OF BIRDS OF THE WORLD VOLUME V LONDON : HUMPHREY MILPORD OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS CHECK-LIST OF BIRDS OF THE WORLD VOLUME V BY JAMES LEE PETERS CURATOR OF BIRDS, MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY AT HARVARD COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE Original printing by HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS IN 1945 Reprinted by MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY AT HARVARD COLLEGE IN 1955 COPTRIGHT, 1945 BT THE PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGE REPRINTED BY PHOTO-LITHOGRAPHY SPAULDING-MOSS COMPANY BOSTON INTRODUCTION No innovations have been adopted in this volume; the gen- eral scope, as outlined in the introduction to the first volume, with minor changes explained in the introductions to subse- quent volumes, still stands. A little more than half of the present volume is taken by the hummingbirds. The arrangement of this family is essentially that adopted by Eugene Simon in his Histoire Naturelle des Trochilidae (Paris, 1921), but I have not been able to follow all of his generic refinements or some of his interpretations of the Rules of Zoological Nomenclature. Nevertheless, Simon's arrangement is probably the best to date for a family that defies any attempt at a logical linear classification. Generic differentiation has been much over- done in the Trochilidae; too much emphasis has been laid on secondary sexual characters of the males; a better system could probably be evolved from a classification based on the females, but the time element prevented my undertaking it. Continued changes in geographical place names are diffi- cult to keep up with; I have endeavored to be up-to-date on the more important, and anticipate greater changes after the war. Accents have been placed in all place names in Latin America where required by Spanish or Portuguese grammatical usage. No new names published since 31 December 1943 are included, nor are the results incorporated of any revisionary work since that date. Owing to World conditions, it has not been practicable to circulate proofs abroad; instead, carbons of the typescript were sent to the United States National Museum, American Museum of Natural History, and the Chicago Museum of Natural History where they were read as a whole or in part by Dr. H. Friedmann, Dr. A. Wetmore, Mr. H. G. Deignan, VI INTRODUCTION Dr. E. Mayr, Dr. J. P. Chapin, Dr. J. T. Zimmer, and Prof. 0. Neumann; to each of these gentlemen my thanks are heartily given. I am indebted to the authorities of the American Museum of Natural History, United States National Museum, Carne- gie Museum, Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, and the Chicago Museum of Natural History for the loan of specimens. Thanks are again due to Mrs. R. E. Bowen who typed the greater part of the manuscript and prepared the index, to Mrs. Peters for invaluable assistance with the proof, and to Dr. Thomas Barbour for his continued encouragement of this project.

  • Fruits and the Ecology of Resplendent Quetzals
    FRUITS AND THE ECOLOGY OF RESPLENDENT QUETZALS NATHANIEL T. WHEELWRIGHT 1 Departmentof Zoology,University of Washington,Seattle, Washington 98195 USA ABsTR^CT.--ResplendentQuetzals (Pharomachrus rnocinno) are typicallytermed "special- ized" fruit-eatingbirds, althoughthere are few data describingthe breadthof their diet or the characteristicsof the fruits they select.In fact, there is no generalconsensus about the meaning or consequencesof being a fruit specialist. In the lower montane forests at Monteverde,Costa Rica, quetzalsfeed on a minimum of 12-18 speciesof fruits at most timesof the year and on an annualtotal of at least41 species.Although their diet includes the watery,small-seeded berries of many second-growthplants, they depend mostly on the largedrupes of about18 speciesin the laurelfamily (Lauraceae).The phenologiesand habitat distributionsof the Lauraceaeappear to dictatethe timing and directionof seasonalmove- mentsby quetzals.Mutual dependenceand, possibly,general coevolution between quetzals and the lauraceoustrees whose seeds they disperseare suggestedby the birds' morphology, distribution, behavior, and life history. Nestling quetzalsare broughtentire fruits as early as the secondday after hatching. Thereafter,they consumegradually increasing amounts of fruit, but, even immediately beforethey fledge,most of their diet consistsof insects,snails, and lizards.Brooding drops off rapidly by the time chicksare 9 days old. Considerablevariation in broodingduration, parentalsex roles, and nestlingdiet existsbetween nests, however, and apparentlybetween dutches. Adults take far less time to deliver fruits to nestlingsthan to deliver insectsor lizards, which reflectsthe relativeease of "capturing"ripe fruits (asopposed to animal prey) during the breeding season.The male parent delivered significantlymore insectsand food items in generalthan did the female at a first-dutchnest but not at a second-clutchnest.

[email protected] Abstract. Hummingbirds are one of the most diverse families of birds and the phylogenetic relationships within the group have recently begun to be studied with molecular data. Most of these studies have focused on the higher level classification within the family, and now it is necessary to study the relationships between and within genera using a similar approach. Here, we investigated the taxonomic status of the genus Hylocharis, a member of the Emeralds complex, whose relationships with other genera are unclear; we also investigated the existence of the Basilinna genus. We obtained sequences of mitochondrial (ND2: 537 bp) and nuclear genes (AK-5 intron: 535 bp, and c-mos: 572 bp) for 6 of the 8 currently recognized species and outgroups.

Its use as a meaningful taxonomic indicator has been defunct for well over a century, as the “warblers” encompass hundreds of thin-billed, insectivorous passerines across more than a dozen families worldwide. This is not itself an issue, as many other passerine names (flycatcher, tanager, sparrow, etc.) share this common name “polyphyly”, and conventions or modifiers are widely used to designate and separate families that include multiple groups.

  • Venezuela Location Geography Food
    Venezuela Location Venezuela, officially the Republic of Venezuela, is a republic (1995 est. pop. 21,005,000), 352,143 sq mi. (912,050 sq. km), in the northern part of South America. With the Caribbean Sea in the north, Venezuela has a coastline of 1,750 long. It is bordered on the south by Brazil, on the west and southwest by Colombia, and on the east by Guyana. Dependencies include Margarita Island, Tortuga Island, and many smaller island groups in the Caribbean. Caracas is the capital and also the largest city in Venezuela. Geography Venezuela, a third larger than Texas, occupies most of the northern coast of South America on the Caribbean Sea. Mountain systems break Venezuela into four distinct areas: (1) the Maracaibo lowlands; (2) the mountainous region in the north and northwest; (3) the Orinoco basin, with the llanos (vast grass-covered plains) on its northern border and great forest areas in the south and southeast, and (4) the Guiana Highlands, south of the Orinoco, accounting for nearly half the national territory. Food The food in Venezuela is generally easy and flavorful. Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, claims to have a greater variety of restaurants than any other South American city, and it would certainly be a pleasure to try and prove it, even if you failed. Venezuelan cooking has European, indigenous, and African roots – a heterodox cuisine formed over the centuries by immigrants. Some of the native dishes include: Page 1 of 7 - Pabellon - stewed and shredded meat accompanied by rice, black beans, and baban -Hallaca - a traditional Christmas dish.

  • 'Bogotá' Type Specimens of the Hummingbird Genus Adelomyia
    Thomas M. Donegan & Jorge Enrique Avendaño 195 Bull. B.O.C. 2015 135(3) ‘Bogotá’ type specimens of the hummingbird genus Adelomyia, with diagnosis of an overlooked subspecies from the East Andes of Colombia by Thomas M. Donegan & Jorge Enrique Avendaño Received 25 September 2014 Summary.—Molecular work has revealed that Speckled Hummingbirds Adelomyia melanogenys in the East Andes of dpto. Santander, Colombia, represent a distinct lineage not previously recognised taxonomically. Most specimens from this region differ from others taken in the East Andes by their more extensively rufous and speckled posterior underparts. Sound-recordings and biometrics showed broad overlap for all variables in both populations. Statistically significant but non- diagnosable differences exist in the number of notes in trills of songs, speed of calls and bill length. The type of Adelomyia melanogenys (Fraser 1840) is a ‘Bogotá’ specimen similar to birds from dpto. Cundinamarca, Colombia. Trochilus sabinae Bourcier & Mulsant, 1846, is also based on a ‘Colombia’ specimen. A possible type was identified that resembles the Santander population in its underparts.Adelomyia simplex Boucard, 1893, is based on a leucistic ‘Bogotá’ specimen more consistent with the Cundinamarca population than others. If the Santander population is recognised taxonomically, it is suggested to clarify the type locality for sabinae as the west slope of the East Andes in Santander or Boyacá, but molecular work is needed to confirm this. A. m. inornata in the southern Andes has a faster call and distinctive plumage, and perhaps merits species rank. The genus Adelomyia is monospecific, comprising the polytypic Speckled Hummingbird A. melanogenys, a widespread Andean hummingbird.

  • EAST INDIANS on the SPANISH MAIN in the NINETEENTH CENTURY Michael F
    Man In India, 93 (1) : 95-111 © Serials Publications ‘ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE’: EAST INDIANS ON THE SPANISH MAIN IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Michael F. Toussaint In this paper the Spanish Main is taken to refer to the broad area stretching from Mexico to the southern tip of South America, only part of which was affected by East Indian immigration1. Until recently, little research was done regarding migration from the Caribbean to South America. A largely unexplored dimension of this phenomenon is the late nineteenth-century illegal migration of a number of Indian immigrant labourers who had been brought to the Caribbean under indenture contracts. This paper seeks to bring this migration phenomenon into focus. It examines the circumstances surrounding the illegal emigration of these Indians to the South American mainland, their experience there and the British government’s handling of this problem. Also discussed is the cultural impact of those Indian immigrants who remained on the mainland. The overall number of Indian emigrants is unknown and undoubtedly small. Ours, however, is a qualitative rather than quantitative discourse, intended to broaden the context and scope of Indian migration, and our appreciation of the myriad dimensions of their diaspora. Theoretical and Epistemological Issues There are two fundamental and reciprocating nuances to Caribbean migration historiography. Firstly, it emphasizes the movement of labour, whether forced or voluntary. Secondly, from this, historical enquiry remains focused on in-migration to the region. Out-migration, significant as part of the Caribbean experience from the inception of European and Caribbean contact, has been studied as an afterthought. One result is that the complexity of Caribbean migration has been significantly obscured2.

Yet, it was still too early to experience the real explosion of bird song, which usually happens after dawn. Then, after 05:30 AM, the chorus started when a vocal Great Kiskadee broke the morning silence, followed by the scratchy notes of two Hoffmann´s Woodpeckers, a nesting pair of Inca Doves, the ascending and monotonous song of the Yellow-bellied Elaenia, and the cacophony of an (apparently!) engaged pair of Rufous-naped Wrens. This was indeed a warm welcome to magical Costa Rica! To complement the first morning of birding, two boreal migrants, Baltimore Orioles and a Tennessee Warbler, joined the bird feast just outside the hotel area. Broad-billed Motmot . Photo: D. Ascanio © Victor Emanuel Nature Tours 2 The Best of Costa Rica, 2019 After breakfast, we drove towards the volcanic ring of Costa Rica. Circling the slope of Poas volcano, we eventually reached the inspiring Bosque de Paz. With its hummingbird feeders and trails transecting a beautiful moss-covered forest, this lodge offered us the opportunity to see one of Costa Rica´s most difficult-to-see Grallaridae, the Scaled Antpitta.

  • Diagnosis and Observations of a Hybrid Hummingbird (Metallura Tyrianthina X Aglaiocercus Kingi) in the Eastern Andes of Colombia F
    Rev. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Ex. Fis. Nat. 39(153):481-490, octubre-diciembre de 2015 Hybrid hummingbird at Rogitama, Boyacá doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.18257/raccefyn.260 Ciencias naturales Diagnosis and observations of a hybrid hummingbird (Metallura tyrianthina x Aglaiocercus kingi) in the Eastern Andes of Colombia F. Gary Stiles*, José Oswaldo Cortés-Herrera Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá, Colombia Abstract An unusual, strikingly colored male hummingbird present for several months in the Rogitama Biodiversity Reserve in Boyacá, Colombia created considerable media attention. It was initially suggested that the bird might represent the rediscovery of the Bogotá Sunangel, Heliangelus zusii. However, a later study of its DNA identified H. zusii as a member of a clade that includes Aglaiocercus and Taphrolesbia. Given the many differences in plumage from the Rogitama hummingbird, this hypothesis was rejected. Three hypotheses regarding its identity were examined in detail: it could represent an unusually colored male of Aglaiocercus kingi, a hybrid between two local species, or an undescribed species. We observed this bird’s foraging and interactions with other hummingbirds, recorded its song and captured it to describe in detail its plumage and take morphological measurements, after which it was released. We rejected all hypotheses except that of a hybrid, and concluded that A. kingi and Metallura tyrianthina were its probable parents. In contrast to its plumage and morphometrics, its song was unlike those of its putative parents, possibly representing a transgressive character. The same may be true of the bluish coloration (termed “hybrid bluing”) that characterized several hybrids between green-backed parental species, including the Rogitama hummingbird.
