The IOC New Zealand list uses a subset of species from the complete IOC world list. It provides an alternative to the New Zealand Recognised Bird Names list, which has not been updated in recent years.
Want to be an editor for this checklist?
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!.
Genus is defaulted from the previous species row but may need overwriting; specific needs to be entered in either case.
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 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.
