Extract from reference: Scarlet Minivet (Pericrocotus flammeus) is split into two species, following Rasmussen and Anderton (2005). The monotypic group Scarlet Minivet (Orange) (Pericrocotus flammeus flammeus) is elevated to species rank as Orange Minivet (Pericrocotus flammeus). All other subspecies remain under the English name Scarlet Minivet, but the scientific name for this species changes to Pericrocotus speciosus.
