Note 1: Crossoptilon harmani is sometimes considered a subspecies of Crossoptilon crossoptilon. Most recent reference materials (Madge, McGowan, 2002) are treating harmani as a full species. back


Note 2: lineata and crawfurdii have longed thought to be races of leucomelanos, but have been recently placed with nycthemera. Both species are very closely related and much more research still needs to be done with these two species. back


Note 3: Now considered to be a natural hybrid between Lophura nycthemera annamensis and Lophura edwardsi hatinhensis. back


Note 4: Lophura edwardsi hatinhensis is sometimes considered a seperate species, Lophura hatinhensis. back


Note 5: Polyplectron bicalcaratum katasumatae is sometimes considered a seperate species, Polyplectron katsumatae. back


Note 6: Polyplectron schleiermacheri is sometimes considered a race of Polyplectron malacense. back
