Boyd divides Passerida, sister group to Corvida, into 11 superfamilies. Representatives of eight of these superfamilies occur or have occurred in the Pacific Region. Notiomystidae, along with Callaeidae and Petroicidae, comprise the superfamily Callaeoidea, currently thought to be basal Passerida (Boyd).

NOTIOMYSTIDAE (1 species)

Notiomystis cincta Stitchbird (Hihi)
NOTE: Work by Ewen et al (2006) and Driskell et al (2007) showed that this taxon is not closely-related to Meliphagidae. It diverged from Callaeatidae long enough ago to be distinct at the family level.
N. c. hautura Res NZ (Little Barrier I several thousand inds). Reint NZ (Tiritiri Matangi I 226 inds Feb 2008, Kapiti I 100+, Karori Sanctuary in Wellington where nesting in tall Kauri trees, Maungatautari).

CALLAEIDAE (5 species)

Callaeas cinereus South Island Kokako
NOTE: David and Gosselin (2002b) established that Callaeas is masculine.
The NI and SI populations have been separated at the specific level based on plumage and ecological differences (Holdaway et al 2001; Murphy et al 2006).

Extinct? Res NZ (SI, Stewart I); 50 calls ascribed to this subspecies in Big River Valley, Fiordland Jan 2006, Southern bird #26).

Genetic studies by Miller and Lambert (2006), however, indicated recent radiation of macrocephala, resulting in retention of subspecific status by OSNZ (2010).

Sittiparus varius Varied Tit
NOTE: This species was moved to Sittiparus based on data in Johansson et al (2013).
S. v. varius? Int Hawaiian Is (Kauai, Oahu; now extirpated).


The relationships between the remaining six superfamilies and their constituent families in Passerida is unsettled; Boyd arranged them into three clades: (1) Sylvioidea, (2) a clade containing Reguloidea, Bombycilloidea, Certhioidea, and Muscicapoidea, and (3) Passeroidea. Boyd's Sylvioidea includes 11 Pacific Region families which follow, Alaudidae through Leiotrichidae.

ACROCEPHALIDAE (21 species)

The following sequence and taxonomy of species is based on Cibois et al (2008, 2011) and Saitoh et al (2012). These authors postulated as many as three waves of Pacific colonization (see also Pratt et al 1987, Dickinson 2003). The species A. orientalis groups with A. stentoreus, and A. arundinaceus of Asian origin. Among species endemic to the Pacific region, luscinius of Guam is closest to the A. orientalis group and is basal to the remaining species in the Pacific radiation. The latter separate into two major clades. One, with A. hiwae of Saipan and Alamagan as the basal taxon and A. australis of Solomon Is next to diverge, comprises four additional groups (Saitoh et al 2012): (1) yamashinae, rehsei, and aequinoctialis of Pagan, Nauru, and Kiribati respectively, (2) A. mendanae of southern Marquesas Is, (3) A syrinx of Caroline Is, and (4) nijoi of Aguiguan. Cibois et al (2011) and Saitoh et al (2012) note that there were three separate colonizations of the Mariana Is represented in the clade of which nijoi is basal. The second major clade consists of three minor clades; A. familiaris of Hawaiian Is and sister to the remaining two minor clades, A. kerearako and A. rimatarae of Cook Is and Rimatara respectively, and the remaining species, which separate into 5 genetically distinguishable lineages. These consist of (1) astralobii, atyphus, percernis, and longirostris of Gambier Is, Tuamotu Is, northern Marquesas Is, and Society Is respectively, (2) caffer of Society Is, (3) garretti and musae of Society Is, (4) taiti of Pitcairn Is, and (5) vaughani of Pitcairn Is. Saitoh et al (2012) note that among these latter 5 lineages, there are three in the Society Is and two in the Pitcairn Is (see accounts below). Pratt et al (1987) separated syrinx and rehsei as species, a change confirmed by Cibois et al (2011).

Acrocephalus orientalis Oriental Reed-Warbler

A. luscinius Nightingale Reed-Warbler
NOTE: Use of luscinius, an invariable noun, rather than luscinia is discussed by David and Gosselin (2002a). Saitoh et al (2012) suggested retaining the English name Nightingale Reed-Warbler for the only extant population (Saipan and Alamagan), rather than for the extinct population on Guam.

NOTE: Often considered conspecific with A. stentoreus Clamorous Reed-Warbler. Clements (2000) separated Solomon Is taxa as toxopei within A. australis, and applied sumbae to birds in parts of the Moluccas and Lesser Sundas; this treatment is followed here.
A. s. toxopei Res Solomon Is (Buka, Bougainville, Guadalcanal, Santa Isabel, Mbanika, Gijunabena Is near Santa Isabel, Dutson 2011).
