with rp. Reflist has the advantage that you can add columns or widths, but in the othernhand, it's not hard to convert has the advantage of automatic insertion via the toolbar. is nice and compact, I wonder why the documentation for R says not to mix it with ?

Helbig et al. 2004
Abstract mentions "tribe Aquilini", proposes genus Nisaetus.

Also: "Hieraaetus fasciatus/spilogaster are closest to Aquila verreauxii and should be merged with that genus. Wahlberg’s Eagle H. wahlbergi, formerly placed in Aquila, is part of a clade including three small Hieraaetus species (pennatus, ayresii, and morphnoides)."

The abstract says "These papers [from the Taxonomic Subcommittee of the BOU Records Committee] are available online at http://www.bou.org.uk/recbrlst.html...". They appear to have been moved to http://www.bou.org.uk/british-list/taxonomy/ ?

Summary: this paper summarizes taxonomic recommendations from 2000–2005, and in an appendix also from 1977–2000. Of relevance to raptors are: TSC3 (Sangster, below), moving Bonelli's and booted eagles; and AERC1, splitting steppe/tawny eagles and eastern/Spanish imperial eagles.

Sangster et al. 2005
[TSC3]

Recommends placing Bonelli's and Booted Eagles into Aquila, but is silent on the other Hieraaetus species. This does mean they recommend keeping H. morphnoides, H. (m.) weiskeii, etc. in Hieraaetus, because it only deals with Western Palearctic species.

Sangster et al. 2013
Recommends splitting Indian Spotted Eagle A. (p.) hastata from Lesser Spotted Eagle A. pomarina.

Also moving falcons Falconiformes in sequence to sit between the woodpeckers and parrots.

Both these lists include "Booted Eagle Hieraaetus pennatus DE". Bonelli's Eagle isn't on the lists.

Note that Peters vol. 1 (1931) uses the following organization for raptors, starting at page 189:
 * Order Falconiformes
 * Suborder Cathartae
 * (no superfamily)
 * Family Cathartidae
 * Family †Teratornithidae
 * Suborder Falcones
 * Superfamily Sagittarioides
 * Family Saggitariidae
 * Superfamily Falconoides
 * Family Accipitridae
 * Subfamily Elaninae
 * Subfamily Perninae
 * Subfamily Milvinae
 * Subfamily Accipitrinae
 * Subfamily Buteoninae
 * Subfamily Aegypiinae
 * Subfamily Circinae
 * Subfamily Circaetinae
 * Subfamily Pandioninae
 * Family Falconidae
 * Subfamily Herpetotherinae
 * Subfamily Polyborinae

 * Subfamily Falconinae

Penhallurick
Online database of all bird species, with names and higher-level classifications (order to genus). Has taxonomies of Peters, Sibley, and Gill. In addition Penhallurick gives his own classification based on Hackett (2008), Yuri (2013), and other sources.

Unfortunately, this website may not be around much longer, as the author was diagnosed with MND in 2013 and his health is declining rapidly.

Links to some significant pages in the site:
 * Rationale for Synonymy. Essay on the need for a database of synonyms with citations.
 * Family List. List of orders, families and tribes. Clicking an entry retrieves a list of included species. He gives 21 entries for Accipitridae, 3 Falconidae, and 11 Strigidae; with 1 each for Cathartidae, Sagittariidae, and Pandionidae.
 * The Sibley and Monroe list, since I don't have access to the original.

Most surprising is that he has split Accipiter and grouped one part with Circus:
 * Accipitrinae: Erythrotriorchis, Megatriorchis, and Accipiter (10 spp. incl. sparrow hawk A. nisus and sharp-shinned hawk)
 * Asturinae
 * Asturini, Astur (7 spp., incl. northern goshawk, Cooper's hawk)
 * Circaetini (query error, should be Circini?), Circus (13 spp.)
 * Tachyspizinae, Tachyspiza (30 spp. of sparrowhawks and goshawks, incl. shikra, besra, levant sparrowhawk)

Which means he has also split off the other Accipitrinae:
 * Hieraspizinae, Hieraspiza (tiny hawk H. superciliosis, semicollared hawk H. collaris)
 * Kaupifalconinae, Kaupifalco monogrammicus lizard buzzard
 * Lophospizinae, Lophospiza (crested goshawk L. trivirgatus, Sulawesi goshawk L. griseiceps)
 * Melieraxinae (eastern Melierax poliopterus, pale M. canorus, and dark M. metabates chanting-goshawks; Gabar goshawk Micronisus gabar; long-tailed hawk Urotriorchis macrourus)

He seems to be following Boyd in splitting Accipiter, but Boyd keeps all the genera (except Harpagus and Lophospiza) in a single family.

Falconiformes
Falconidae have also been updated based on Fuchs, Johnson & Mindel (2014 in press, DOI 10.1016/j.ympev.2014.08.010). Polihierax has been split into two monotypic genera, and Falconinae into two tribes: pygmy falcon P. semitorquatus with the Microhierax falconets in tribe Polihieracini Peters 1931; and white-rumped falcon Neohierax insignis with Falco in tribe Falconini Leach 1820.

Boyd recognizes three subfamilies: Herpetotherinae, Caracarinae, Falconinae.

Aside on plagiarism
Here by the by I cannot but reflect upon the Author of a late English Book, entituled, The Gentlemans Recreation. ... I do not blame him for Epitomizing, but for suppressing his Authors names, and publishing their Works as his own, insomuch that not only the Vulgar, but even Learned men have been deceived by him, so that they have looked upon him as a considerable Writer, of extraordinary skill in such Arts and Exercises, and one that had advanced and improved them. By the way therefore it may not be amiss to caution Learned men that they be not too hasty nor lavish in their public commendations of new Books before they have taken the pains to compare them with former Treatises on those Subjects, lest they render themselves ridiculous by publishing those for advancers of knowledge, who are indeed meer Plagiaries and Compilers of other mens Works. -- John Ray, Preface

Observations on the nomenclature of ornithology
"It becomes necessary either on the one hand, to make Falco a family instead of a genus, and to admit new generick names for those divisional groups of it, which possess a naturally distinctive character : or on the other hand to retain the name as generick, but with an awkward and unartistlike reference to its sections or subgenera, — a process whereby the simplicity and brevity so conspicuous in the Linnean nomenclature is necessarily violated." pp. 190–191

"in the title of his great group, the term family being substituted for that of genus ; while his own gencrick term Falco is still retained for that division of his group which he meant to be typical in it. and which, even thus limited, contains more species at the present day, than what constituted his original genus." p. 191

On the groups of the Falconidæ
Untitled introduction starts on p. 308.

Section "On the groups of the Falconidæ" p. 312. Vigors divides the family into divisions or stirpes: the "noble" hawks (Stirps Accipitrina) and falcons (Stirps Falconina); the "ignoble" buzzards (Stirps Buteonina), kites (Stirps Milvina) and eagles (Stirps Aquilina).

Some good quotes to be had here on the nature of the kites and eagles, though the latter is quite long. He then goes on to describe the genera in detail.

He points out that Pliny separated the raptors into Aquilae and Accipitres (pp. 326, 344); and that Aristotle into aetoi, hierakes (ἱερακες), and iktinoi (pp. 328, 344-345). He asserts that Aristotle's hierakes included the hawks, buzzards and falcons.

Thomoson gives the meaning of ἰκτῖνος as "kite", i.e. common or black kites. (A glossary of Greek birds, 1895, pp. 68-69 )
