1 For valid proposal of family-group name see Coates (1990) [Coates, 1990 #1003].
2 As currently circumscribed includes genera Melanocharis and Rhamphocharis from the Dicaeidae and genera Oedistoma and Toxorhamphus from the Meliphagidae; see Sibley & Ahlquist (1985) [Sibley, 1985 #3634] and Christidis et al. (1993) [Christidis, 1993 #15371].
3 Species and subspecies treatments follow Salomonsen (1960, 1967a and 1967b) [Salomonsen, 1960 #7708], [Salomonsen, 1967 #3454], [Salomonsen, 1967 #3455] except where indicated.
4 Subspecific identity of Foya Mts. and North Coast Range populations requires confirmation.
5 Subspecific identities of populations in Foya and Cyclops Mts., need clarification along with validity of this subspecies; see Gilliard & LeCroy (1961) [Gilliard, 1961 #6246] and Diamond (1972) [Diamond, 1972 #1318].
6 Includes prasina; see Schodde (1978) [Schodde, 1978 #3507].
7 Included in Melanocharis by Sibley & Monroe (1990) [Sibley, 1990 #3636], but without justifying explanation.
8 We place this genus here following Sibley & Ahlquist (1990) [Sibley, 1990 #3635].
9 Correct original spelling. Invariable. Spelling iliolophum in Salomonsen (1967) [Salomonsen, 1967 #3455] and Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] wrongly changed to agree in gender.
10 Correct original spelling. Invariable. Spelling fergussone in Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] was an ISS.
11 Includes flavipectus and olivascens see Diamond (1972) [Diamond, 1972 #1318].
12 We place this genus here following Sibley & Ahlquist (1990) [Sibley, 1990 #3635].
13 Includes septentrionalis; based on Mayr & Gilliard (1954) [Mayr, 1954 #7002] and Diamond (1972) [Diamond, 1972 #1318].
14 Dated from 1883 by Salomonsen (1967) [Salomonsen, 1967 #3455]. This is the volume date, but see Howes (1896) [Howes, 1896 #2022] for the part dates.
