Footnotes:

  1. Neomorphus squamiger is probably a subspecies of N. geoffroyi (Payne 2005); SACC needs proposal to lump
  2. CHANGE: English name of Centropus ateralbus to White-necked Coucal (Gregory 2009)
  3. Neumann's Coucal Centropus neumanni is conspecific with Black-throated Coucal C. leucogaster (Payne 2005)
  4. White-browed Coucal C. superciliosus includes Burchell's Coucall Centropus burchelli, which is deemed to be conspecific (Payne 2005)

  9. Little Bronze Cuckoo C. minutillus includes C.russatus, C.rufomerus and C.crassirostris (Dickinson 2003,Payne 2005, Collar 2007); further work needed to define species limits (Christidis and Boles 2008)
  10. Moluccan Cuckoo Cacomantis heinrichi may be conspecific with Brush Cuckoo C. variolosus (Payne 2005, Collar 2007), OR referable to C.sepulcralis aeruginosus , a potential split from Rusty-breasted Cuckoo (Payne, in litt.)
  11. Surniculus velutinus is split from S.lugubris following Dickinson (2003) and Payne (2005)
  12. CHANGE: English name of Surniculus lugubris to Square-tailed Drongo-Cuckoo with splits of S. dicruroides and D. musschenbroeki
  13. Surniculus dicruroides is split from S. lugubris (Payne 2005, Collar 2007)
