J Pire (2-2006): FYI: do not accept this list as the defining compilation of the entire Columbiformes. I found some of the Latin names in this list had different spelling then what is listed elsewhere. I contacted Dr Peterson asking about the different spellings & I have included his reply. Also in going thru this list I found distinct species listed in all other lists that were left off of this list. I added them & made a notation next to them in red.  I have not yet finished checking the list of accepted subspecies & may find some differences as well.

per Dr Peterson (2/10/2006): "I basically follow Howard & Moore 3rd. Ed. in this matter. David and Gosselin  BBOC. 2002 122:257-282 have established Treron to be masculine, and the current Code requires (foolishly in my opinion) agreement in some (not all) instances with the gender of the specific epithet with the gender of the genus-group name.  This makes it all very confusing, very difficult to sort out on one's own, and produces endless headaches as generic revisions occur."
