Holmes Received 24 May 1985 Six species of the family Zosteropidae are known to occur in Sulawesi (Stresemann 1939-1941; Mees 1957, 1961, 1969). These are Zosterops Moris, Z. montana, Z. atrifrons, Z anomala, Z. consobrinorum and Lophozosterops squamiceps. The former 3 species are widespread in the Indonesian region, with several races of Z atrifrons and Z. chloris occurring in Sulawesi. The othe

These are Zosterops Moris, Z. montana, Z. atrifrons, Z anomala, Z. consobrinorum and Lophozosterops squamiceps. The former 3 species are widespread in the Indonesian region, with several races of Z atrifrons and Z. chloris occurring in Sulawesi. The other 3 are endemic to Sulawesi. The known distributions of white-eye species in Sulawesi were recorded by Stresemann (1939-1941). Only Z montana and L. squamiceps have been recorded there as widespread, with the other species only found in restricted areas. Z anomala is recorded only from the southern peninsula. Z. atrifrons has been found on the northern peninsula, the north part of the central region, and on islets off the eastern peninsula. Z consobrinorum is the least known species (Mees 1969), having been found only on the little explored southeastern peninsula. Lack (1971) thought these latter 3 species (anomala, atrifrons and consobrinorum) geographically replaced each other in lowland areas. Z chloris has been found on the southern peninsula, the northern part of the central region, islets off the northern and southeastern peninsulas and recently the eastern peninsula (White & Bruce in press); where it overlaps with Z anomala in the southern peninsula the 2 species are found in different ecological zones (Lack 1971)..
