The list of Japanese birds used by BUBO Listing is the Annotated Checklist of the Birds of Japan, as published on the Birds of Japan website, and produced by members of the Japan English Language Birders Group, Kantori. This has recently been updated to follow IOC taxonomy.

Although English and scientific names are currently shown as standard within BUBO Listing, the Japanese names of each species are also included and can be viewed upon data entry by hovering the mouse over the English name. Moreover, these names are also listed below.

First select authority to copy existing species from, then type species name, or enter a new species directly.
Species name is defaulted from the previous species row and should of course be overwritten!

NB: Species name for the old taxon should be updated to differentiate it from the split taxa using a '/' or '[group]', e.g. Species A/Species B or Species A [group].
NB: Scientific name should also be updated similarly, e.g. Genus specific A/specific B or Genus specific A [group]
NB: Notes only allow up to 255 characters, but there is no enforcement of this. Anything longer will be truncated without warning.
NB: Species name for the old taxon should be updated to differentiate it from the split taxa using '[lumped]', e.g. Species A [lumped].
NB: Scientific should also be updated, using '[lumped]' or brackets for the old specific name, e.g. Genus specific [lumped] or Genus [specific] subspecific.
