Common Bush-Tanager Chlorospingus flavopectus (was ophthalmicus)

Hi Friends, I have examined carefully the paper by Weir,Bermingham,Miller,Klicka & Gonsález,2008, Phylogeography of a morphologically diverse Neotropical montane species, the Common Bush-Tanager (Chlorospingus ophthalmicus) Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution,47: 650–664. I think that they prove beyond any doubt that the Common Bush-Tanger should be broken up into 8 species. I treid to send an email to both birdchcat and neoorn containing the relevents Figures inserted as jpegs, but both emails were rejected because of this. I one would like to see the 2 Figures, email me and I’ll send them to you personally. Meanwhile, go to my website and enter Chlorospingus as the search term. Don’t forget to click on citations for each of the splits because its there you will find the explanations. Briefly, the new analysis is a follows: Chlorospingus ophthalmicus (monotypic) Chlorospingus dwighti Chlorospingus albifrons Chlorospingus wetmorei Chlorospingus punctulatus (including regionalis and novicius) Chlorospingus postocularis(including honduratius) Chlorospingus flavopectus (including jacqueti,eminens,trudis,exitelus,ponsi,nigriceps,macarenae,falconensis,venez uelanus, peruvianus,fulvigularis,bolivianus and argentinus) Chlorospingus cinereocephalus Chlorospingus inornatus Chlorospingus phaeocephalus Go to my website http://www.worldbirdinfo.net And don’t forget to tlcik on citations to get the evidence.
