Cuckoo hosts - page 26<br />
White-crowned Koel, Cacomantis leucolophus (S. Müller 1840) Verhandelingen over de Natuurlijke<br />
Geschiedenis der Nederlandsche overzeesche bezittingen, Land-en Volkenkunde, pt.1, p. 22, 233.<br />
Distribution. – New Guinea region.<br />
Taxonomic notes. – Often treated as sole member of genus Caliechthrus (Payne 2005).<br />
Host list. – Presumably brood parasitic, no known host.<br />
Chestnut-breasted Cuckoo, Cacomantis castaneiventris (Gould 1867) <strong>The</strong> Annals and Magazine of<br />
Natural History, (3), 20, p. 269<br />
Distribution. – Australasian region.<br />
Host list. – Based on Higgins 1999, Payne 2005; see also Schönwetter 1967-1984; Coates 1985<br />
reports no known hosts, but suggests flycatchers as probable hosts. Breeding biology and hosts “almost<br />
unknown” (Higgins 1999). Eggs supposed to be of this species may actually represent those of Brush<br />
Cuckoo Cacomantis variolosus; eggs of this species may be confused with those of Fan-tailed Cuckoo<br />
Cacomantis flabelliformis (Higgins 1999).<br />
PARDALOTIDAE<br />
Large-billed Scrubwren, Sericornis [magnirostris] magnirostris<br />
Beccari’s Tropical Scrubwren, Sericornis [magnirostris] beccarii (record of brood parasitism on this host<br />
species possibly refers to this cuckoo)<br />
Grey-green Scrubwren, Sericornis arfakianus<br />
Lovely Fairywren, Malurus amabilis (record of brood parasitism on this host species possibly refers to this<br />
cuckoo)<br />
PASSERIDAE
