Introduction
Recognition of a single species for the 'haematodus-complex', following Christidis and Boles (2008: 153), necessitates assignment of a new CAVS number, as merging of rubritorquis changes the concept of the species.
The complex was divided into seven species by del Hoyo & Collar (2014), but is deemed premature by Schweizer et al. (2015) because the phylogenetic relationships at species level have not yet been determined.
