Cuckoo-shrikes (Campephagidae)

White-shouldered Triller (Lalage sueurii) - HBW 10, p. 100

French: Échenilleur de Lesueur German: Weißschulterlalage Spanish: Oruguero de Lesueur
Other common names: Sueur’s Triller

Taxonomy: Turdus Suerii [sic] Vieillot, 1818, New Holland; error = Timor.
May form a superspecies with L. tricolor, and the two are sometimes considered conspecific. It has been suggested that present species may form a superspecies with L. nigra, or that the two might even be conspecific, although they may be sympatric in C Java. Sympatry with L. leucopygialis in Sulawesi means that these two taxa can not satisfactorily belong to the same superspecies. Monotypic.

Distribution: C & E Java, Bali, Salembu Besar, NC & S Sulawesi (including Salayar, Buton and Tukangbesi), islands in Flores Sea (Tanahjampea, Kalao, Bonerate, Kalaotoa, Madu), and Lesser Sundas (Lombok E to Alor, S to Sumba, Savu, Roti and Timor) E to Wetar, Romang, Kisar, Moa, Sermata Is and Babar.
