Verreaux, Golden, Gurney, Wedge-tailed does NOT represent a clade
Verreaux, Golden, Gurney and Wedge-tailed eagles does NOT represent a clade (see Phylogeny and new taxonomy of the Booted Eagles (2017) in https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/3208/ad60e52847d90724b5e4de6eaa2bff4d5f2f.pdf), unless includes also at least Aquila fasciata and A. spilogaster, since these later species are the closest eagles to the Verreaux eagle.89.181.77.45 (talk) 20:46, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Instead Verreaux's eagle together with Bonelli's eagles (A. fasciata and A. spilogaster) constitute a clade.

Also surprising, e.g. the Tawny eagle (A. rapax, not including A. nipalensis) together Imperial eagles (A. adalberti and A. heliaca) also form a clade. If A. nipalensis is included then remains a clade. 89.181.77.45 (talk) 15:12, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Maybe true, but we don't need to describe the phylogeny exhaustively in this article. WolfmanSF (talk) 00:48, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
