1 Sequence of genera derived Crowe et al. (2006) [Crowe, 2006 #9517], who also found that traditional subfamilies were not monophyletic; for Ptilopachus now see the Odontophoridae.
2 Within Dinesen et al. (1994) [Dinesen, 1994 #1399] (but not in conjunction with the specific name where proposed) the authors name the type species of the genus and cite the authors in a different sequence.

9 Includes bartelsi; see Mees (1996) [Mees, 1996 #2638].

137 In broadly defined Francolinus the name afer Latham, 1790, is preoccupied by afer Statius Muller, 1776, and the present taxon took the junior name Francolinus africanus Stephens, 1819. Following changes to genera proposed by Crowe et al. (2006) [Crowe, 2006 #9517], the name reverts that that used in Peters (1934) [Peters, 1934 #3007].

143 In Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #2998] levaillantoides was mistakenly used as the specific name, but gutturalis has priority. The northern subspecies gutturalis, lorti and archeri were treated by Peters (1934) [Peters, 1934 #3007] under F. africanus, but are placed here following White (1965) [White, 1965 #4191].
