Bulbuls (Pycnonotidae)
Puff-throated Bulbul (Alophoixus pallidus) - HBW 10, p. 225
French: Bulbul pâle
German: Blassbauch-Haubenbülbül
Spanish: Bulbul Pálido
Other common names: Olivaceous (Bearded) Bulbul
Taxonomy: Criniger pallidus Swinhoe, 1870, Hainan, China.
Genus often merged with Criniger; recent molecular evidence, however, strongly supports the view that the relationship between the two is remote, despite close similarity in appearance. Separation of various races problematical, and listed details provisional; full review necessary in order to establish validity and precise distribution of each. Putative race grandis (from Yunnan, in S China) considered indistinguishable from henrici. Seven subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- griseiceps (Hume, 1873) - S Myanmar (Pegu Yomas).
- robinsoni (Ticehurst, 1932) - S Myanmar (Tenasserim).
- henrici (Oustalet, 1896) - S China (S Yunnan E to E Guangxi), N Thailand, N & C Laos and N Vietnam (Tonkin).
