Résumé :
|
This is the second update on the taxonomy of species and higher taxa on the Dutch List since Voous (1977). It summarizes decisions made by the Commissie Systematiek Nederlandse Avifauna (CSNA) between Jan 1999 and Okt 2003. Changes in this report fall into five categories: (1) eight species names are changed to make them grammatically correct (Alopochen aegyptiaca, Pluvialis dominica, Actitis macularius, Phalaropus fulicarius, Chlidonias hybrida, Delichon urbicum, Saxicola maurus, Regulus ignicapilla); (2) two species names are changed due to re-identification of type specimens (Phylloscopus ibericus, Lanius isabellinus); (3) six species become monotypic due to the recognition of extralimital taxa as species (Milvus milvus, Aquila pomarina, Larus cachinnans, Sylvia nana, Sylvia Hortensis, Ficedula parva); (4) two species become polytypic due to the inclusion of taxa previously separated as species (Larus fuscus, Acrocephalus scirpaceus); (5) ten scientific names of species are changed due to generic revisions (Anas strepera, A. falcata, A. penelope, A. americana, Phalacrocorax pygmeus, P. aristotelis, Grus virgo, Calidris himantopus, Bubo scandiacus, Emberiza calandra).
