Modern phylogenetic studies have shown the Dicaeidae as formulated by Salomonsen (1967) to be nonmonophyletic. Gregory (2008: 322–338) has included the following genera in the family Melanocharitidae : Melanocharis , Rhamphocharis , Oedistoma , and Toxorhamphus . Of that group, Oedistoma and Toxorhamphus were treated by Salomonsen (1967) in the Meliphagidae . Coates (2008: 340–349) placed Oreocharis and Paramythia in a separate family, Paramythiidae ; Christidis and Boles (2008: 177, 209–210) merged the Dicaeidae with the Nectariniidae . Here Salomonsen’s (1967) arrangement is followed to preserve consistency of treatment within the AMNH avian type lists.
In his series of papers on the Dicaeidae (sensu lato), Salomonsen (1960a, 1960b, 1960c, 1961a, 1961b, 1961c) gave at the end of each paper a list of the large number of type specimens that he examined and where they are housed.
