“…As did earlier parts (Greenway, 1973(Greenway, , 1978(Greenway, , 1987LeCroy and Sloss, 2000;and LeCroy, 2003and LeCroy, , 2005and LeCroy, , 2008and LeCroy, , 2010and LeCroy, , 2011and LeCroy, , 2012, this part follows the order of Peters' Check-list series, which is the basis for the arrangement of the AMNH collection. Since the publication of this series, DNA studies of the phylogeny of birds have greatly altered our understanding of avian relationships, about which there is as yet no consensus of opinion.…”

“…Paratypes for taxa for which the primary type or types are not in AMNH are usually not listed. The reader is referred to earlier parts of this type list by LeCroy and Sloss (2000), and LeCroy (2003LeCroy ( , 2005LeCroy ( , 2008LeCroy ( , 2010LeCroy ( , 2011LeCroy ( , 2012 for expanded explanation of the introductory material.…”

There have been many modifications to this classification in recent years, particularly with the advent of DNA studies, and there is as yet no consensus regarding relationships and arrangement within the Emberizidae.…”

“…For a fuller discussion, see LeCroy (2005LeCroy ( : 2-3, 2008. In cases where Hartert's nomination proved ambiguous, I have designated as lectotype the specimen bearing the Rothschild type label, interpreting this as an indication that Hartert intended this specimen as the type; indeed, he may have considered the presence of a type label enough in the days before the more rigorous codification of the rules of nomenclature.…”
