The most complete and updated checklist of the birds recorded in Chile

This comprehensive and meticulously researched work brings together a wealth of information, combining extensive recent data with a re-evaluation of the historical literature and re-examination of critical museum specimens, thus providing a complete update on the status of the 438 species reliably recorded in Chile. It includes:

• A complete species checklist in grid format.
• Life-zone codes for every species.
• The latest taxonomic and systematic developments.
• An in-depth analysis of 34 hypothetical species.
• An evaluation of 10 species now considered erroneous.
