The phylogenetic relationship within the Galliformes indicated by their lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera)

Notornis, 28 (3), 161-167

Kettle, P.R. (1981)

Article Type: Paper

A consideration of the distribution of the various genera of Phthiraptera occurring on Galliformes suggests that, while Megapodidae, Cracidae, Tetraonidae, Phasianidae, Numididae and Meleagrididae form a natural group of related hosts, Opisthocomidae, Tinamidae, Turnicidae and Pedionomidae do not fall .within the same host group. Evidence also suggests that Galliformes is more closely related to Columbiformes than is generally accepted.

The morphology, moult and taxonomic status of the Black-fronted Tern

Notornis, 27 (1), 45-67

Lalas, C. Heather, B. D. (1980)

Article Type: Paper

The plumage stages and moult of the Black-fronted Tern (Sterna albostriata) of New Zealand are described, largely from field observations, and measurements are given. The Black-fronted Tern is compared with the Whiskered Tern (Chlidonias hybrida) with the conclusion that they are not closely related. The characters of S. albostriata are those of Sterna rather than Chlidonias. The possibility of relationship with the Antarctic Tern (S. vittata) and the Kerguelen Tern (S. virgata) is revived and discussed.
