Summary

A total of 48 new species of birds were described in the ten year period from 1966 to 1975. Of these 28 can be considered good species but nine of the eleven doubtful species might also turn out to be valid (6, 7, 8, 13, 18, 27, 29, 30, 31). The 28 species can be tabulated as follows:

Aa New species in new genera (2): 4, 40

Ab New species not clearly members of a superspecies (14): 5, 9, 11, 14, 16, 19, 20, 24, 34, 39, 43, 45, 47, 48

Ac Allospecies (members of superspecies) (12): 2, 3, 10, 15, 17, 21, 25, 32, 35, 36, 42, 46

An additional 20 names cannot now be assigned the status of valid full species:

Ba Species inquirendae (12): 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 18, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31

Bb Subspecies (2): 1, 23

Bc Synonyms (6): 22, 33, 37, 38, 41, 44

Zusammenfassung

In den 10 Jahren 1966–1975 wurden 48 Arten neu benannt, von denen 28 als gute Arten betrachtet werden können. Sie lassen sich wie folgt gruppieren:

2 neue Arten in neuen Gattungen: 4, 40

14 neue Arten, die nicht offensichtlich Mitglieder einer Superspezies sind: 5, 9, 11, 14, 16, 19, 20, 24, 34, 39, 43, 45, 47, 48

12 neue Allospezies, die Mitglieder einer Superspezies sind: 2, 3, 10, 15, 17, 21, 25, 32, 35, 36, 42, 46

Weitere 20 Namen sind entweder unsicher (6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 18, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31), oder Subspezies (1, 23), oder einwandfrei Synonyme (22, 33, 37, 41, 44). Jährlich werden im Durchschnitt immer noch 2.8 gute neue Arten beschrieben. Mehr neue Arten sind in der letzten Zehnjahresperiode aus der Neotropischen Region beschrieben worden als aus allen andern Teilen der Welt zusammen.
