New locality for the endangered Blackthroat Calliope obscura

Alström, Per; Zhao, Min; He, Peng; Lei, Fumin

Abstract

This study provides new distributional and morphological data for one of the world's most poorly known species, the Blackthroat Calliope obscura, which, until recently, was only known from fewer than ten museum specimens and a few field observations. Three previously mis-labelled male specimens collected during the breeding season at a presumed breeding site slightly further to the northwest of the formerly known range were recently found.
