1 We follow Sibley & Monroe (1990) [Sibley, 1990 #3636] in placing the chats with the flycatchers and, with minor changes, follow Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] in their arrangement.
2 Beresford (2003) [Beresford, 2003 #275] split this, proposing the transfer of all species except diademata into Pseudalethe a new genus which Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] placed in the Saxicolinae; however, Pseudalethe is a junior synonym of Chamaetylas Heine, 1860.
3 Given as 1851 by Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315], but see Zimmer (1926) [Zimmer, 1926 #4296].
4 For treatment as a separate species from A. diademata, see Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917]. But see also Keith (1992) [Keith, 1992 #2183].
5 All species except C. podobe treated in the genus Erythropygia by Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315]. Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] determined that there are two clades and two genera are indicated. However, the clade including C. podobe also includes the type species of such alternative generic names as seem to be available.
6 C. signata, unsampled type species of the genus name Tychaedon, may belong to the second clade and might resolve the situation. Species sequence based on Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
7 Includes Salsolicola Oatley, 2004 [Oatley, 2004 #2803].
8 Correct original spelling. Spelling coryphaeus in Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] was based on Lesson's later usage; but the diphthong used in Vieillot's work has also been misread.
9 Probably includes eurina Clancey, 1969 [Clancey, 1969 #839], see Oatley et al. (1992) [Oatley, 1992 #2802].
10 For correction of authorship and date see Clancey & Brooke (1990) [Clancey, 1990 #6009].
11 For recognition see Oatley in Hockey et al. (2005) [Hockey, 2005 #12724]. Not listed by Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
12 Includes erlangeri, rovumae and wilsoni, see White (1962) [White, 1962 #4188]; and implicitly brunnea Ripley & Heinrich, 1966 [Ripley, 1966 #3320], see Oatley et al. (1992) [Oatley, 1992 #2802].
13 For recognition see Dowsett et al. (2008) [Dowsett, 2008 #12725]. Not mentioned by Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
14 Treated as monotypic by Oatley et al. (1992) [Oatley, 1992 #2802]. Includes thamnodytes Clancey, 1974 [Clancey, 1974 #867].
15 May deserve species rank; see Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
16 Includes oatleyi and reclusa Clancey, 1966 [Clancey, 1966 #826], see Oatley et al. (1992) [Oatley, 1992 #2802].
17 For date correction see Dickinson et al. (2011) [Dickinson, 2011 #13287].
18 Includes damarensis, see Hockey et al. (2005) [Hockey, 2005 #12724]. But see Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
19 Subspecies groups reflect separation of species in Mackworth-Praed & Grant (1957) [Mackworth-Praed, 1957 #2465] and data in White (1962) [White, 1962 #4189].
20 Oatley et al. (1992) [Oatley, 1992 #2802] included pectoralis, strepitans Clancey, 1975 [Clancey, 1975 #874] and simulator Clancey, 1964 [Clancey, 1964 #819], and implicitly makalaka.
21 Not screened by Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435]; but see Beresford et al. (2005) [Beresford, 2005 #277].
22 Found to be sister to Copsychus saularis by Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] but recognising Kittacincla on morphological grounds is here preferred to subsuming Trichixos and Saxicoloides.
23 Sheldon et al. (2009) proposed this be subsumed in C. saularis from which they separated Philippines birds. We follow Safford & Hawkins (2013) [Safford, 2013 #14829] in keeping this separate.
24 Correct original spelling. Spelling inexpectatus in Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315] and in Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] was an ISS.
25 Safford & Hawkins (2013) [Safford, 2013 #14829] considered winterbottomi Farkas, 1972 [Farkas, 1972 #1538] applied to birds intergradient between this and pica.
26 Includes erimelas and prosthopellus; see Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
27 Includes javensis and problematicus, see Mees (1986) [Mees, 1986 #2631]; and zacnecus, nesiarchus, masculus and pagiensis see Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
28 Given as 1851 by Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315]; but see Zimmer (1926) [Zimmer, 1926 #4296].
29 For treatment as a separate species see Sheldon et al. (2009) [Sheldon, 2009 #11898] and Lim et al. (2010) [Lim, 2010 #12381]. Includes deuteronymus, see Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
30 Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] placed this in Copsychus and yet did not subsume Saxicoloides. The alternative adopted here is to recognise both these genera and Kittacincla to retain a monophyletic treatment following Zuccon & Ericson (2010) [Zuccon, 2010 #12156].
31 Misspelled pyrrhopygus in Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533].
32 Recognition of this genus maintained contra Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435], see Lim et al. (2010) [Lim, 2010 #12381].
33 Transfer from genus Copsychus is based on morphology, and evidence that monophyly is well served by accepting this genus and Trichixos; see Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
34 Correct original spelling. Spelling luzonensis in Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] was an ISS.
35 For recognition see Dickinson et al. (1991) [Dickinson, 1991 #1361].
36 For treatment as a separate species see Collar (2011) [Collar, 2011 #12810]; DNA data consistent with that option see Lim et al. (2010) [Lim, 2010 #12381].
37 For placement in Kittacincla; see Lim et al. (2010) [Lim, 2010 #12381].
38 For recognition at specific level see Dickinson et al. (1991) [Dickinson, 1991 #1361]. For confirmation see DNA data of Lim et al. (2010) [Lim, 2010 #12381] who also placed this in Kittacincla.
39 Mees (1996) [Mees, 1996 #2638] discussed the interbreeding between K. m. suavis and K. s. stricklandi that caused Smythies to treat these two as members of one species. True sympatry seems unproven.
40 The use of 1788 by Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315] appears to have been a lapsus; see Ripley (1982) [Ripley, 1982 #3332].
41 Introduced to Hawaiian Is.
42 Treated as a distinct species by Rasmussen & Anderton (2005) [Rasmussen, 2005 #4749].
43 Date of publication uncertain, but may have appeared in 1858.
44 For restoration of this name see Mees (1996) [Mees, 1996 #2638]. Considered to include interposita and pellogyna, see Wells (2007) [Wells, 2007 #10194].
45 Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315] cited vol. 30 of the Nouveau Dictionnaire, which dates from 1819; however, the correct citation is to vol. 20 and the date 1818 is correct (Mees, 1996) [Mees, 1996 #2638].
46 Includes opisthisa and opistthopelus; see Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
47 Includes javana; see Mees (1996) [Mees, 1996 #2638].
48 This race and barbouri have striking white crowns and are seen by some authors to comprise a distinct species.
49 Sequence of genera based on Zuccon & Ericson (2010) [Zuccon, 2010 #12156] and Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] as all genera represented. However, although many genera appear to be paraphyletic limited taxon sampling prevents significant revision.
50 Note the transfer of the genus Ficedula to the Saxicolinae following Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
51 Zuccon & Ericson (2010) [Zuccon, 2010 #12156] found this genus to be polyphyletic. Too few species have been screened to permit change now or to derive a sequence of species.
52 Considered by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091] to form a superspecies with M. gambagae. See also Taylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217].
53 For suggested alternative treatments of what may be more than one species see Rheindt & Eaton (2012) [Rheindt, 2012 #14731].
54 May form a superspecies including M. randi and M. segregata; see Clement in Taylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217]; Wells (2007) [Wells, 2007 #10194] separated umbrosa adding it to this group of forms that differ from the rest of this complex. See also Rheindt & Eaton (2012) [Rheindt, 2012 #14731].
55 For an opinion, which we reject, that Pallas's name dauurica was not validly introduced, see Mlíkovský (2012) [Mlíkovský, 2012 #14729].
56 For treatment as a separate species see Inskipp et al. (1996) [Inskipp, 1996 #2069]; but see Wells (2007) [Wells, 2007 #10194].
57 For provisional recognition of this and the next as separate species from M. dauurica see Dickinson et al. (1991) [Dickinson, 1991 #1361].

59 For correct authorship see LeCroy (2008) [LeCroy, 2008 #10760].
60 Not recognised by Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917]. For recognition see Dowsett et al. (2008) [Dowsett, 2008 #12725].
61 This issue from the 1859 volume was delayed until early 1860; for evidence see p. 463 therein.
62 Considered to form a superspecies with M.lendu; see Taylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217].
63 The name obscura used by Fry (1997) [Fry, 1997 #1630] is preoccupied. The names albiventris and okuensis are synonyms, see Fry (1997) [Fry, 1997 #1630].
64 Includes grotei see Fry (1997) [Fry, 1997 #1630].

68 Considered by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091] to form a superspecies with M. ussheri. See also Taylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217].
69 For recognition see Érard (1997) [Érard, 1997 #1531].
70 For comments on the use of this name see Érard (1997) [Érard, 1997 #1531].
71 Corrected original spelling; catoleucum, as used by Reichenow, and by Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] should have been treated as variable.
72 For recognition see Zuccon & Ericson (2010) [Zuccon, 2010 #12156]. However, these two species probably do not belong together.
73 Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] found this species probably embedded in the genus Muscicapa.
74 Previously treated in a broad genus Melaenornis; but see Johnson in Hockey et al. (2005) [Hockey, 2005 #12724]. However Bradornis may be polyphyletic; see Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
75 Subspecies subalaris may constitute a separate species with erlangeri as its subspecies; see Taylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217].
76 Includes aquaemontis; see Hockey et al. (2005) [Hockey, 2005 #12724]. Recognised by Taylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217].
77 Dual original spellings. See David et al. (2009) [David, 2009 #11541].
78 Potentially paraphyletic according to Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
79 Includes ufipae; see Fry (1997) [Fry, 1997 #1630].
80 Considered by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091] to form a superspecies with M. brunneus and M. fischeri. See also Taylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217].
81 Considered by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091] to form a superspecies with M. edelioides and M. ardesiacus. Taylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217] excluded M. ardesiacus as a distinct montane taxon.
82 Taylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217] recognised ater, tropicalis and poliogyna.
83 Includes kavirondensis see White (1963) [White, 1963 #4190].
84 Previously treated in a broad genus Melaenornis, but see Johnson in Hockey et al. (2005) [Hockey, 2005 #12724].
85 For possible placement of this genus in the Stenostiridae see Jønsson & Fjeldså (2006) [Jønsson, 2006 #9914]. But see Safford & Hawkins (2013) [Safford, 2013 #14829].
86 Sequence of genera based on Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435], who also transferred the genus Anthipes here from the Muscicapini. They proposed a subfamily name but this was not then Code-compliant. Muscicapella hodgsoni is transferred to the genus Ficedula following Zuccon & Ericson (2010) [Zuccon, 2010 #12156].
87 New subfamily name proposed by Sangster et al. (2016) [Sangster, 2016 #15981].
88 This genus was subsumed in the genus Niltava in Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091] following Vaurie (1953) [Vaurie, 1953 #8324], but resurrection initiated by King & Dickinson (1975) [King, 1975 #2219]. Taxon sampling insufficient to allow any change yet in species sequence.
89 Includes Rhinomyias although some species are tentatively placed in Eumyias and the genus Vaureilla is resurrected for the Philippine species; see Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
90 For conservation of this name see Opinion 1267 (I.C.Z.N., 1984) [I.C.Z.N., 1984 #6631].
91 The complicated nomenclature here, with the name harterti used by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091], being questioned and then returned to use is explained by LeCroy (2008) [LeCroy, 2008 #10760]. However, see also Quaisser (2010) [Quaisser, 2010 #12326] and Mlíkovský (2011) [Mlíkovský, 2011 #12815].
92 Correct original spelling. Spelling ruecki in Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] was an ISS; spelling reported by LeCroy (2008) [LeCroy, 2008 #10760] was incorrect.
93 Types from Malacca are thought to be trade skins and not from Malaysia.
94 Original spelling pallipes; internal information confirms the need for, and nature of, emendation.
95 For date correction see Pittie (2006) [Pittie, 2006 #9574].
96 For treatment as a separate species from C. banyumas see Renner et al. (2009) [Renner, 2009 #11607] and Rasmussen & Anderton (2012) [Rasmussen, 2012 #15479].
97 Dated 1919 by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091], presumably a lapsus, No. CCXXXVI bears the date October 29th. 1918.
98 The name coeruleata Büttikofer, 1900, used by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091], and by Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533], was a misspelling of the earlier name Schwaneria caeruleata Bonaparte, 1857, which correctly applies to a different species. It is thus a junior homonym under Art. 58.1 of the Code (I.C.Z.N., 1999) [I.C.Z.N., 1999 #2059], and an unavailable
99 For treatment as a separate species from C. banyumas; see Dickinson et al. (1991) [Dickinson, 1991 #1361], Kennedy et al. (2000) [Kennedy, 2000 #2203] and Renner et al. (2009) [Renner, 2009 #11607]. But see also Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533]. An allospecies of C. banyumas.
100 Sometimes considered a separate species; see Clement in Traylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217].
101 Includes rupatensis; see Wells (2007) [Wells, 2007 #10194].
102 The replacement name lepidula used by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091] had previously only been proposed not used. Thus Arts. 59.3 and 59.4 of the Code (I.C.Z.N., 1999) [I.C.Z.N., 1999 #2059] apply as it was not rejected before 1961. The name longipennis is thus available.
103 A replacement name for Cyornis simplex Blyth, 1870. Senior to the replacement name simplicior proposed by Deignan (1947) [Deignan, 1947 #1198].
104 Includes litoralis see Dickinson et al. (1991) [Dickinson, 1991 #1361].
105 Suggested to be a distinct species; see Mayr in Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091] and, including peromissa and kalaoensis, as a subspecies group, see Coates & Bishop (1997) [Coates, 1997 #1004].
106 Correct original spelling. Spelling kuhni in Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] was an ISS.
107 Considered by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091] to form a superspecies with N. sanfordi. But see Clement in Traylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217] who includes C. hyacinthinus.
108 Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] found this species basal to his 'Niltavinae' (a name not yet validly published) and it probably deserves its own genus.
109 For correct date of publication see Richmond (1926) [Richmond, 1926 #3268].

116 For reasons to transfer this species from the genus Rhinomyias, see Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
117 Incorrect original spelling occularis; a misformed Latin word justifiably emended to ocularis see Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091]. Use of original spelling by Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] was erroneous.
118 Genus extracted from the genus Ficedula by Outlaw & Voelker (2006) [Outlaw, 2006 #10001]; see also Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
119 Considered by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091] and Clement in Taylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217] to form a superspecies with A. monileger.
120 For date correction see Richmond (1926) [Richmond, 1926 #3268].
121 May form a superspecies with N. davidi and N. sumatrana; see Clement in Taylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217].

128 For treatment as a species separate from C. cyanomelana, see Leader & Carey (2012) [Leader, 2012 #15496].
129 Sometimes previously treated within a broader genus Muscicapa.
130 For date correction see Dickinson et al. (2011) [Dickinson, 2011 #13287].
131 Considered by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091] to form a superspecies with E. panayensis. Clement in Taylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217] included E. sordidus.

138 Generic sequence here is based on Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435]; but see Zuccon (2011) [Zuccon, 2011 #12892] for correction to the subfamily name.
139 Species sequence tentative and based on Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435]; apparent polyphyly suggests more than one genus.
140 For recognition see White (1982) [White, 1962 #4188].
141 Includes albigularis, considered preoccupied. The replacement name came into use no later than 1955 and under Art. 59.3 of the Code (I.C.Z.N., 1999) [I.C.Z.N., 1999 #2059] must be retained contra Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315] and Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533].
142 Includes gurue see White (1962) [White, 1962 #4188].

156 Use of this genus follows Oatley et al. (1992) [Oatley, 1992 #2802]; closely associated with Cossypha by Beresford (2003) [Beresford, 2003 #275] and thus placed here.
157 Genus not sampled by Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435]; presumed to belong close to Cossypha.
158 Includes Pseudalethe Beresford, 2003 [Beresford, 2003 #275] a junior synonym, the name having been attached to another subspecies and no doubt overlooked.
159 May form a superspecies with C. poliophrys, C. fuelleborni and C. choloensis; see Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].

174 No species sampled by Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435]. Zuccon & Ericson (2010) [Zuccon, 2010 #12156] place C. guttata next to Sheppardia cyornithopsis.
175 For placement in this subfamily see Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
176 This replacement name came into use in or before 1953 so that Art. 59.3 of the Code (I.C.Z.N., 1999) [I.C.Z.N., 1999 #2059] applies but the continuing use of the name insulana appears to rule out the restoration of poensis.
177 Correct original spelling. Spelling ilyae in Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] was an ISS.

183 May deserve species rank; see Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
184 For treatment in Sheppardia rather than Cossypha see Beresford (2003) [Beresford, 2003 #275]. See also Sangster et al. [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
185 Not recognised by Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917]. But see Dowsett et al. (2008) [Dowsett, 2008 #12725].
186 Dual original spellings, one being on the issue cover; see Dillon & Fjeldså (2005) [Dillon, 2005 #13357] and David et al. (2009) [David, 2009 #11541].
187 For placement in this subfamily see Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
188 Includes mabirae see Oatley et al. (1992) [Oatley, 1992 #2802].
189 For treatment as a subspecies within S. erythrothorax see Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
190 Sequence follows Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] with Cinclidium inserted following Zuccon & Ericson (2010) [Zuccon, 2010 #12156].
191 For reasons to recognise this genus and to transfer these species here from the genus Rhinomyias, see Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
192 For description of a proposed new subspecies kamlae from the Kelabit Highlands; see Leh (2004) [Leh, 2004 #9939]. Review needed.
193 Considered by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091] to form a superspecies with R. albigularis, R. insignis and R. goodfellowi.
194 Treated as a separate species from V. gularis by Dickinson et al. (1991) [Dickinson, 1991 #1361].
195 Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] found a close relationship between this and Rhinomyias insignis.
196 For correct date see Raphael (1970) [Raphael, 1970 #3206].
197 Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315] erred in treating La Touche, lead author of the work, as a co-author the name.
198 For suggestion this may be a separate species see Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
199 For recognition see Dickinson et al. (1991) [Dickinson, 1991 #1361].
200 For date correction see Raphael (1970) [Raphael, 1970 #3206].
201 Author given as Hodgson by Ripley (1964), but see Dickinson (2004) [Dickinson, 2004 #1388].
202 Population from hills near Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat differs markedly; see Wells & Medway (1976) [Wells, 1976 #5621].
203 Correct original spelling. Spelling leucophrys in Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] was an ISS.
204 Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315] cited 1827, Livr. 76. But plate 448 appeared in Livr. 75 in 1828; see Dickinson (2001) [Dickinson, 2001 #1369].
205 Blyth credited the name to Jerdon & Blyth, but see Art. 50 in I.C.Z.N., 1999 [I.C.Z.N., 1999 #2059].
206 Rasmussen & Anderton (2005) [Rasmussen, 2005 #4749] treated this as two separate species in the genus Myiomela. This may be correct but see Inskipp et al. (1996) [Inskipp, 1996 #2069]. Molecular screening is needed.
207 For reason to date this 1841; see Dickinson et al. (2004) [Dickinson, 2004 #1390].
208 For date correction see Duncan (1937) [Duncan, 1937 #1442].
209 For restoration of this genus see Rasmussen & Anderton (2005) [Rasmussen, 2005 #4749].
210 Restoration of this genus and species sequence based on Sangster et al. [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
211 Includes rishirensis Kuroda, Jr., 1965 [Kuroda, 1965 #2299]; see Morioka in Orn. Soc. Japan (2000) [Ornithological Society of Japan, 2000 #2875].
212 Includes subrufus see Orn. Soc. Japan (2000) [Ornithological Society of Japan, 2000 #2875].
213 For date correction see Anon. (1947) [Anon., 1947 #14610].
214 Species sequence based on Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] who we follow in splitting Luscinia s.l. and restoring the several other genera in the clades they suggest and in submerging Hodgsonius here.
215 Includes baehrmani Eck, 1975 [Eck, 1975 #1475]; see Svensson (1992) [Svensson, 1992 #15374] and Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
216 This name takes precedence over hafizi Severtsov, 1873; see Dickinson (2008) [Dickinson, 2008 #10694].
217 For recognition see Cramp et al. (1988) [Cramp, 1988 #1087].
218 For the firm establishment of a Spanish population and attachment to it of this name see Mayaud (1958) [Mayaud, 1958 #15629]. See also Johnsen et al. (2006) [Johnsen, 2006 #9908] and Hogner et al. (2013) [Hogner, 2013 #15169].
219 The name magna was replaced before 1961 and under Art. 59.3 of the Code (I.C.Z.N., 1999) [I.C.Z.N., 1999 #2059] it is permanently invalid. The use of magna by Vaurie (1959) [Vaurie, 1959 #3961] should not have been followed. Vaurie relied on the Copenhagen Decisions [Hemming, 1953 #15320] but these were proposals that were not all accepted when the Code was formally revised and as such the Decisions themselves had no effect.
220 For recognition see Stepanyan (1990) [Stepanyan, 1990 #3721].
221 For recognition see Vaurie (1959) [Vaurie, 1959 #3961] and Cheng (1987) [Cheng Tso-hsin, 1987 #739].
222 Dual original spelling. G.R. Gray (1855) [Gray, 1855 #1796] acted as First Reviser and selected phaenicuroides. Art. 24.2.4 of the Code (I.C.Z.N., 1999) [I.C.Z.N., 1999 #2059] refers.
223 For date correction see Dickinson & Walters (2006) [Dickinson, 2006 #9469].
224 Includes fortis see Cheng (1987) [Cheng, 1987 #739].
225 Original spelling rufficapillus a misformed Latin word; justifiably emended to ruficapillus, e.g. by Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315].
226 1823 as given by Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315] was a lapsus for 1832.
227 For evidence of two subspecies groups that may already be two species see Moyle et al. (2005) [Moyle, 2005 #2739]. Interaction between the highland and the lowland taxa in Borneo still little known and requires study and reliable sampling for DNA.
228 For date correction see LeCroy (2005) [LeCroy, 2005 #2357].
229 For date correction see Duncan (1937) [Duncan, 1937 #1442].
230 For date correction see Duncan (1937) [Duncan, 1937 #1442].
231 For position in sequence see Zuccon & Ericson (2010) [Zuccon, 2010 #12156].
232 Transferred here from the Turdidae following Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435]. For correct spelling see Deignan (1965) [Deignan, 1965 #1254] and Dickinson (2001) [Dickinson, 2001 #1369].
233 For treatment as three separate species see Collar (2004) [Collar, 2004 #1018].
234 For correct date see Duncan (1937) [Duncan, 1937 #1442].
235 Stepanyan (1996) [Stepanyan, 1996 #3724] proposed splitting this species, but further evidence is required.
236 Wrongly credited to Gray in Temminck, 1822 by Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315], see Deignan (1965) [Deignan, 1965 #1254].
237 For date correction see McAllan & Bruce (2002) [McAllan, 2002 #2584].
238 Genus restored following Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] whose species sequence we follow. For placement of C. obscura see Alström et al. (2013) [Alström, 2013 #15615].
239 Species sequence follows Alström et al. (2013) [Alström, 2013 #15615].
240 Date 1871 in Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] was miscopied.
241 This name has been conserved under Opinion 444 (I.C.Z.N., 1957) [I.C.Z.N., 1957 #9633] and both its senior homonym and the name hachisukae proposed as a substitute for it were suppressed.
242 The name Heteroxenicus joannae has been said to relate to this, see Cheng (1987) [Cheng, 1987 #739], but the evidence is inconclusive; the type should be screened for its molecular profile.
243 For recognition see Rasmussen & Anderton (2012) [Rasmussen, 2012 #15479].
244 Includes camtschatkensis and beicki; see Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917]. For molecular differentiation of populations see Spiridonova et al. (2013) [Spiridonova, 2013 #15489].
245 For recognition see Cheng (1987) [Cheng, 1987 #739].
246 Given as 1834 in Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315], but see Browning & Monroe (1991) [Browning, 1991 #542]. However, they erred see Dickinson (2008) [Dickinson, 2008 #11083].
247 Found to be the sister genus to Ficedula by Outlaw & Voelker (2006) [Outlaw, 2006 #10001]. Formerly a recognised genus, but subsumed in a broad genus Erithacus by Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315] and later in a broad genus Luscinia.
248 For date correction see LeCroy (2005) [LeCroy, 2005 #2357].
249 Includes pacificus Portenko, 1954 [Portenko, 1954 #3107], see Vaurie (1959) [Vaurie, 1959 #3961].
250 For treatment as a species separate from T. cyanurus; see Martens & Päckert (1995) [Martens, 1995 #2504], Rasmussen & Anderton (2005) [Rasmussen, 2005 #4749] and Knox et al. (2008) [Knox, 2008 #10937]. An allospecies.
251 Original spelling pallidiora was malformed and the spelling used here is a justified emendation.
252 For recognition see Rasmussen & Anderton (2012) [Rasmussen, 2012 #15479]. But see Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
253 Species sequence based on Outlaw & Voelker (2006) [Outlaw, 2006 #10001] except for two unscreened species which are interposed based on historic perceptions. These authors are followed here in the inclusion of Muscicapella and the separation of the genus Anthipes.
254 For move from the Muscicapinae to the Saxicolinae see Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
255 Considered by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091], including then subspecies albicilla, to form a superspecies with F. subrubra. See also Clement in Traylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217].
256 For treatment as a separate species from F. parva see Sangster et al. (2004) [Sangster, 2004 #3475] and Svensson et al. (2005) [Svensson, 2005 #10088].
257 For treatment as a separate species from F. hypoleuca; see Saetre et al. (2001) [Saetre, 2001 #4430] and Sangster et al. (2004) [Sangster, 2004 #3475].
258 For reasons to separate this from the two preceding species see Cramp et al. (1993) [Cramp, 1993 #1089].
259 For recognition see Cramp et al. (1993) [Cramp, 1993 #1089].
260 This name was a primary homonym when first proposed, and a replacement name was proposed the next year; see Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091]. In that context Art. 57.2 of the Code (I.C.Z.N., 1999) [I.C.Z.N., 1999 #2059] requires its retention. See also Appendix 2 herein.
261 For elevation to species rank; see Sangster et al. (2004) [Sangster, 2004 #3475].
262 Mistakenly called dulangana in Dickinson et al. (1991) [Dickinson, 1991 #1361] and Kennedy et al. (2000) [Kennedy, 2000 #2203]. Watson et al. (1986) were correct to accept the name luzoniensis; see Art. 59 (I.C.Z.N., 1999) [I.C.Z.N., 1999 #2059]. Includes mindorensis see Dickinson et al. (1991) [Dickinson, 1991 #1361].
263 For date correction see Dickinson & Walters (2006) [Dickinson, 2006 #9469].
264 Subspecies limits in this species need serious revision.
265 The attribution of Mindanao birds here on morphological grounds requires review.
266 For recognition of this and palawanensis see Dickinson et al. (1991) [Dickinson, 1991 #1361].
267 For separation from F. bonthaina and placement in F. crypta see Dickinson et al. (1991) [Dickinson, 1991 #1361]. Dutson (1993) [Dutson, 1993 #1452] reported the male plumage of this, thus proving it also distinct from F. crypta.
268 Watson (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091] gave 1835. However, Mees (1994) [Mees, 1994 #2636] showed that Livr. 97 appeared in or after April 1836.
269 Considered by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091], and by Clement in Traylor (2006) [Taylor, 2006 #12217], to form a superspecies with F. zanthopygia.
270 Includes jakuschima and shonis see Orn. Soc. Japan (2000) [Ornithological Society of Japan, 2000 #2875].
271 Watson (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091] gave 1835. But, Mees (1994) [Mees, 1994 #2636] showed that Livr. 97 appeared in or after April 1836.
272 Includes beijingnica Zheng et al., 2000 [Zheng, 2000 #4295] see Zhang Yan-yun (2006) [Zhang Yan-yun, 2006 #10128] and Töpfer (2006) [Töpfer, 2006 #9476].
273 Treated as a separate species by Robson (2000) [Robson, 2000 #3368].
274 For separation from F. bonthaina and treatment as a monotypic species F. crypta see Dickinson et al. (1991) [Dickinson, 1991 #1361].
275 Outlaw & Voelker (2006) [Outlaw, 2006 #10001] found F. platenae nested within F. dumetoria supporting treatment of this taxon at specific rank.
276 Includes notatus see Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091]; use of that name for the western population, e.g. by Rasmussen & Anderton (2005, 2012) [Rasmussen, 2005 #4749], [Rasmussen, 2012 #15479], depends on the location accepted as the type locality of nominate tricolor, see Dickinson & Walters (2006) [Dickinson, 2006 #9470] for support for the views of Biswas (1962) [Biswas, 1962 #5846].
277 Previously treated in a monotypic genus Muscicapella, but see Outlaw & Voelker (2006) [Outlaw, 2006 #10001] and Sangster (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435]. To resolve homonymy what was Ficedula hodgsonii, must now be called Ficedula sordida.
278 The subsuming of Muscicapella hodgsoni in Ficedula creates homonymy and prevents the retention of hodgsonii. Outlaw & Voelker (2006) [Outlaw, 2006 #10001] proposed the use of the name erithacus; but Zuccon & Ericson (2010) [Zuccon, 2010 #12156] argued that that name was preoccupied, as stated by Watson et al. (1986) [Watson, 1986 #4091], and put forward the synonym used here.
279 Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] suggested use of Phoenicuropsis Wolters, 1980 [Wolters, 1980 #4264] for species frontalis and possibly schisticeps. Ertan (2006) [Ertan, 2006 #9837] and Voelker (2010) [Voelker, 2010 #12409] found that species coeruleocephala and erythronota were part of this clade, consequently the name Adelura Bonaparte must be used.
280 Ertan (2006) [Ertan, 2006 #9837] showed a significant divergence in DNA between Nepal and Chinese birds and both populations deserve recognition; however, further study is needed to determine their respective ranges.
281 For date correction see McAllan & Bruce (2002) [McAllan, 2002 #2584].
282 Placed here following Pan Qiao-Wa et al. (2006) [Pan Qiao-Wa, 2006 #10005]; but see also Ertan (2006) [Ertan, 2006 #9837].
283 For date correction see Dickinson & Walters (2006) [Dickinson, 2006 #9469].
284 Correct original spelling; often emended but see Appendix 8.
285 Treated within Phoenicurus by Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
286 Treated within Phoenicurus by Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
287 Species sequence reflects work of Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] and Voelker (2010) [Voelker, 2010 #12409]; however, we have chosen to avoid a broad genus Phoenicurus, particularly to retain a genus for the very distinctive Chaimarrornis.
288 Includes aterrimus; see Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
289 Blyth's original material originated from Malacca and no longer exists so the subspecific arrangement requires confirmation.
290 The genus Pseudocossyphus is subsumed here, following Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435] and Zuccon & Ericson (2010) [Zuccon, 2010 #12325] whose species sequence is followed.
291 Correct original spelling. Spelling cinclorhynchus in Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] was an ISS.
292 For date correction see McAllan & Bruce (2002) [McAllan, 2002 #2584].
293 Previously in the genus Thamnolaea; but see Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435].
294 Includes coloratus Stepanyan, 1965 [Stepanyan, 1965 #3712], see Roselaar (1995) [Roselaar, 1995 #3385].
295 For molecular evidence suggesting treatment as two species see Zuccon & Ericson (2010) [Zuccon, 2010 #12156]; however, in the context of known clinal variation, the evidence is equivocal due to the type locality for pandoo being far to the west of the sample chosen to represent it.
296 While it may well be that western longirostris and philippensis show a species-level genetic distance Zuccon & Ericson (2010) [Zuccon, 2010 #12325] have yet to show that variation across longitude through pandoo is not clinal and continuous.
297 Includes leucocapilla see Fry (1997) [Fry, 1997 #1630] and, implictly, niveiceps Clancey, 1972 [Clancey, 1972 #864].
298 Suggested by Farkas (1979) [Farkas, 1979 #1540] to be a separate species but this treatment not accepted by Fry (1997) [Fry, 1997 #1630].
299 Not recognised by Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
300 Correct original spelling. Spelling imerinus in Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] was an ISS.
301 This species and the next previously treated as a genus Pseudocossyphus; but see Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435]. Our treatment follows Safford & Hawkins (2013) [Safford, 2013 #14829].
302 Treatment as a species, as by Morris & Hawkins (1998) [Morris, 1998 #2731], Sinclair & Langrand (1998) [Sinclair, 1998 #3653] and Goodman & Weigt (2002) [Goodman, 2002 #1731] was not supported by genetic studies of Outlaw et al. (2007) [Outlaw, 2007 #10824] or of Zuccon & Ericson (2010) [Zuccon, 2010 #12325].
303 Zuccon & Ericson (2010) [Zuccon, 2010 #12325] suggested this be placed in synonymy but morphology suggests otherwise.
304 Includes interioris, salomonseni Farkas, 1973 [Farkas, 1973 #1539], bensoni Farkas, 1971 [Farkas, 1971 #1537], and tsaratananae Milon, Petter & Randrianasolo, 1973 [Milon, 1973 #2686], see Safford & Hawkins (2013) [Safford, 2013 #14829].
305 For date correction see Mey (2003) [Mey, 2003 #2655].
306 Implicitly includes incertus Trischitta, 1939 [Trischitta, 1939 #3879]; see Vaurie (1959) [Vaurie, 1959 #3961].
307 For date correction see Dickinson & Walters (2006) [Dickinson, 2006 #9469].
308 Not recorded since collection in 1912. Not recognised by Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917]; sometimes considered to have been based on individual variation.
309 For establishment of the correct name of this population see Svensson et al. (2012) [Svensson, 2012 #14179].
310 For the attribution of this name to this population see Svensson et al. (2012) [Svensson, 2012 #14179]. But see Mlíkovský (2011) [Mlíkovský, 2011 #13191].
311 Recent recognition of S. maurus and S. tectes, following Wittmann et al. (1995) [Wittmann, 1995 #4254] and Wink et al. (2002) [Wink, 2002 #4237] as separate species implies these are best seen as allospecies, as S. dacotiae may be too.
312 For date correction see Steinheimer (2005) [Steinheimer, 2005 #3709].
313 For date correction see Duncan (1937) [Duncan, 1937 #1442].

315 Includes adamauae and pallidigula see White (1962) [White, 1962 #4188].
316 Date of publication February 7, 1931 see volume table of contents.
317 Use of 1776 in Dickinson (2003) [Dickinson, 2003 #9533] was erroneous.
318 Includes montane populations tsaratananae and ankaratrae; see Safford & Hawkins (2013) [Safford, 2013 #14829]. These were recognised by Collar (2005) [Collar, 2005 #8917].
319 For treatment as a separate species from S. torquatus see Safford & Hawkins (2013) [Safford, 2013 #14829].
320 October 27, 1922 not 1923 as given by Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315].
321 Ripley (1964) [Ripley, 1964 #3315] attributed this to Kelaart, but Blyth described it acknowledging Kelaart's MS name.

362 Loses species semirufa to Monticola see Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435]. We retain the genus as monotypic following Outlaw et al. (2010) [Outlaw, 2010 #12109] and Alabadian et al. (2012) [Aliabadian, 2012 #14725].
363 For date accepted here see Dickinson et al. (2011) [Dickinson, 2011 #13287].
364 For treatment of this and kordofanensis within T. cinnamomeiventris, see White (1962) [White, 1962 #4188].
365 This may belong with the proto-thrushes not with the chats, see Olson (1998) [Olson, 1998 #2861]. Not sampled by Sangster et al. (2010) [Sangster, 2010 #12435], Outlaw et al. (2010) [Outlaw, 2010 #12109] or Aliabadian et al. (2012) [Aliabadian, 2012 #14725].
