Subject: Revised HK List [Print This Page]
Author: cgeoff    Time: 3/07/2010 12:10     Subject: Revised HK List

Although the basis of the recent revision of the HK List has been agreed, the work required to finalise it has not quite been completed. This is mainly due to the fact that, in addition to adopting a new taxonomy and nomenclature, we have also adopted a new system of categorisation.

Finalising species' names has involved consideration not only of those for which we feel a different English name is more appropriate, but also amendments to the system of hyphenation used, which the RC feels is problematic for a few species. These have now been implemented.

However, the new categorisation system (posted previously on this Forum) has required reviews of the status of a small number of species to be carried out (primarily due to the loss of the old Category B). These have not yet been completed, and the following remain: Chestnut-tailed Starling, Pale Blue Flycatcher, Chinese Blue Flycatcher, Grey-necked Bunting, Eurasian Collared Dove and Azure-winged Magpie.

Rather than waiting for these to be completed (at the next RC meeting scheduled for 1st Sept), we are posting the new list now. Please note the numbers are provisional, and will be finalised once the reviews have been completed.

HK List (IOC) Cat III 20100703.pdf (94.65 KB)

Any comments on the list or the format in which it is presented are most welcome.

Finally, a warning that the upcoming HKBR will not be based on this revised list. It is too far along the road to final publication. However, the 2007-08 Report will.

Regards,

RC Chairman

Thanks to Geoff and Record Committee members. Producing the most-updated HK list is an important task of HKBWS. The list with Chinese name has been uploaded in the HK List section of the discussion forum.

Thank you for RC's effort, it's a not easy and never ending task.
Just have one observation: Pomarine Skua, Parasitic Jaeger and Long-tailed Jaeger are all from same genus Stercorarius but different in naming - Skua/Jaeger. Is that any meaning for not being consistent?

450 Chinese Blue Flycatcher  Cyornis glaucicomans 中華仙鶲 is not the same species as Blue-throated Flycatcher Cyornis rubeculoides 藍喉仙鶲. It is not just a change of name, but a review of their taxonomical status.
Author: cgeoff    Time: 6/07/2010 15:13

One error has been pointed out to me, and that concerns Fork-tailed Drongo Cuckoo, which had the incorrect English and scientific name. This is now corrected, and the revised list will be uploaded soon.

May I know does the HK list strictly or selectively follow IOC world list? Just found that Eurasian Black Vulture is not found in the IOC list, which instead adopt the name Cinereous Vulture.
Also, Christmas Frigatebird in IOC list but Christmas Island Frigatebird in HK list.

The taxonomy is adopted in its entirety, while the English names are largely the same as the IOC. Where there was strong feeling that a particular English name was inappropriate (partly based on comments received when the List was initially uploaded to the Forum), the RC adopted a different one.

This decision and the list of departures from the IOC List was posted on the Forum and comments invited.

Regds,
