Abstract

Honeyeaters from mangroves near Townsville, central coastal Queensland, are intermediate in coloration between the Varied Honeyeater Lichenostomus (= Meliphaga) versicolor and the Mangrove Honeyeater L. fasciogularis. This information taken in conjunction with the similarity of their calls and ecology sug- gests that these taxa may be conspecific.
