Sorry, that should be: This classification was picked up subsequently by del Hoyo & Collar (2014), who ARE quoted by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species … Cheers, Stephen Stephen Ambrose Ryde, NSW —–Original Message—– From: Stephen Ambrose [mailto:stephen@ambecol.com.au] Sent: Thursday, January 7, 2016 10:00 AM To: ‘John Leonard’; ‘birding-aus@birding-aus.org‘ Subject: RE: [Birding-Aus] Zanda? Hi John, A quick look at the literature: Zanda was a subgenus of the genus Calyptorhynchus. But DNA studies by White et al. (2011) suggested that Zanda should be separated from Calyptorhynchus and elevated to genus level. This classification was picked up subsequently by del Hoyo & Collar (2014), who are not quoted by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2012-1.RLTS.T22684739A38977158.en and Winkler et al.

I have just received my copy of the Bird Families of the World, from the HBW people. Magnificent volume! Anyway, I see they use Zanda as the generic name for the Yellow-tailed and two White-tailed Cockatoos. When did this happen? I’d like to know as it affects my online persona (I’ll have to become Zanda now, solemn and mournful, not noisy and gregarious). ? John Leonard

Hi John, I can’t find one. Jobling, JA (2010, Helm Dictionary of Scientific Bird Names) says there is no explanation, but it was first used by Mathews in 1913, and Richmond, CW (1917, Proc. Of U.S. Nat Hist Mus 35: 583-655) claims that it is an Aboriginal name.

Hi Stephen et al, Zanda is obviously not picked up by many yet as when I googled Zanda it came up with Architects, Cabinet makers etc but not Black Cockies
Happy New Year to all….
