Sixty-sixth supplement to the American Ornithological Society’s <i>Check-list of North American Birds</i>

This is the 25th supplement since publication of the seventh edition of the Check-list of North American Birds (American Ornithologists' Union [AOU] 1998).It summarizes decisions made between April 25, 2024, and April 30, 2025, by the American Ornithological Society's (AOS, formerly American Ornithologists' Union) Committee on Classification and Nomenclature-North and Middle America.The Committee has continued to operate in the manner outlined in the 42nd Supplement (Banks et al. 2000).During the past year, Andrew W. Kratter left the committee.Changes in this supplement include the following: (1) 3 species (Anarhynchus alexandrinus, Accipiter nisus, and Monticola solitarius) are added to the main list on the basis of new distributional information, including 2 transferred from the Appendix; (2) 6 species (Piaya mexicana, Larus vegae, Larus smithsonianus, Myiarchus flavidior, Vireo swainsoni, and Turdus daguae) are added to the main list because of splits from species already on the list; (3) 2 species (Gygis candida and G. microrhyncha) are added and 1 (G.alba) moved to the Appendix because of splits from the species now in the Appendix; (4) 2 species names are changed (to Trogon tenellus and Xenops mexicanus) because of splits from extralimital species; (5) the English name and distributional statement of 1 species (Upupa epops) is changed because of a split from an extralimital species; (6) the distributional statements of 7 species (Lagopus lagopus, Streptopelia decaocto, Pachyramphus albogriseus, Nesotriccus murinus, Myiophobus fasciatus, Riparia riparia, and Carduelis carduelis) are changed because of splits from extralimital species; (7) 10 genera (Spilopelia, Tachymarptis, Thinornis, Tachyspiza, Astur, Neophilydor, Curruca, Pterorhinus, Luscinia, and Euthlypis) are added due to splits from or lumps with other genera, resulting in changes to 14 scientific names (Spilopelia chinensis, Tachymarptis melba, Thinornis dubius, Tachyspiza soloensis, Astur cooperii, A. gundlachi, A. bicolor, A. gentilis, A. atricapillus, Neophilydor fuscipenne, Curruca curruca, Pterorhinus pectoralis, Luscinia svecica, and Euthlypis lachrymosa) and the loss of 2 genera (Philydor, Cyanecula); (8) the English group name of 1 genus (Amazona) is changed, resulting in changes to the English names of 18 species; and (9) 6 species (Vanellus chilensis, Leucophaeus modestus, Hydrobates cheimomnestes, Milvago chimachima, Carduelis carduelis, and Volatinia jacarina) are added to the list of species known to occur in the United States.A new subfamily classification and linear sequence of species and genera are adopted for the family Columbidae, a modified subfamily classification is adopted for the family Laridae, revised linear sequences of families are adopted for the orders Gruiformes, Pelecaniformes, and a portion of the Piciformes, a revised linear sequence is adopted for 2 genera in the family Mimidae, and 2 families (Spindalidae, Nesospingidae) are lost due to merger with a family already
