Box933,MountIsa,Queensland,4825,Australia,e-mail:[email protected] ©BritishOrnithologists'Club2008 A replacement name for Coracina papuensis intermedia Rothschild, 1931 by T. H. C. de Kok Received6February2008 Generic regrouping of the species of cuckooshrikes under Coracina Vieillot in Peters (1960: 180, 194) and Dickinson (2003: 467,470) has duplicated the species-groupname inter- media, creating secondary homonymy (ICZN 1999, Arts. 53.3, 57.3.1). The senior name is Coracina melaschistos intermedia (Hume, 1877) for the central and southern Chinese form of the Black-winged Cuckooshrike, and the invalid junior name under Art. 59.1 is Coracina papuensis intermedia Rothschild, 1931, for the south-west New Guinean population of the White-bellied Cuckooshrike. No othernames are available for the south-west New Guinea population, and accordinglyI propose for it: Coracina papuensis rothschildi, nom. nov. As a replacement name for Coracina papuensis intermedia Rothschild, this new name takesthetypeofintermediaRothschild. Itshouldbenoted thatthisformisquestionablydis- tinct, Mees (1982) and LeCroy (2003) regarding it as consubspecific with nominate C. p. papuensis. Its minimal colour differences could wellbe caused by age, dirt or simply clinal variation. Acknowledgements I gratefullyacknowledge the assistance ofJohnPenhallurick, AlanP.
