SUMMARYFord, J. 1979. Speciation or subspeciation in the yellow robins? Emu 79: 103–106.Whether the yellow robinsEopsaltria australisandE.griseogularisare species or subspecies is uncertain if their relationship is judged solely on their degree of morphological differentiation. Strong similarities in their calls, ecology and behaviour suggest that they are probably conspecific. The taxonomic need to treataustralisandgriseogularisas species is obviated by not giving subspecific names to their clinal variants.
