Updated species

The list below only includes species which have been revised, had a taxonomic change or had the contents changed, grouped by the last part of the English name.

The search facility only works on the English name or part of it. To see all Honeyeaters search for ‘Honeyeater’. However to search for the full name enter the ungrouped name. Eg search for Sooty Albatross not Albatross, Sooty.

Species updated

Note: species which have been removed from the current taxonomy are noted (see page for a list of species).
