It is commonly considered a flagship species within its range, with the efforts going into its conservation having positive effects on many other species that share its habitat. Recent genetic research suggests it is closely related to the wattlebirds. TaxonomyFirst described by the naturalist George Shaw in 1794, the regent honeyeater was moved to Anthochaera in 1827 by the naturalists Nicholas Aylward Vigors and Thomas Horsfield.{{sfn|Vigors|Horsfield|1827|pp=[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/778569 320-321]}} It was known as Xanthomyza phrygia for many years, the genus erected by William John Swainson in 1837. DNA analysis shows that its ancestry is in fact nested within the wattlebird genus Anthochaera. The ancestor of the regent honeyeater split from a lineage that gave rise to the red and yellow wattlebirds. The little and western wattlebirds arose from another lineage that diverged earlier.[2] DistributionThe regent honeyeater was once common in wooded areas of eastern Australia, especially along the inland slopes of the Great Dividing Range. It once could be found as far west as Adelaide, but is now gone from South Australia and western Victoria.[3] The population is now scattered, with the three main breeding areas being the Bundarra-Barraba area and Capertee Valley of New South Wales, and north-eastern Victoria.[4] Important Bird AreasBirdLife International has identified the following sites as being important for regent honeyeaters:[5]
In July and August 2018, pairs of birds were seen at three sites in south-eastern Queensland. A spokesman for BirdLife Australia said this was indicative of the current drought conditions in northern New South Wales placing pressure on the birds to find more favourable food sources.[6] Conservation statusThe regent honeyeater is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List,[1] and as endangered under both Australia's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and Queensland's Nature Conservation Act 1992. The Action Plan for Australian Birds 2010, compiled by researchers from Charles Darwin University and published in October 2011 by the CSIRO, added the regent honeyeater to the "critically endangered" list, giving habitat loss as the major threat.[7] ==References== 1. ^1 {{IUCN|id=22704415 |title=Xanthomyza phrygia |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2013 |accessdate=26 November 2013}} 2. ^{{cite journal|author=Driskell, Amy C.|author2=Christidis, Les|author2-link=Leslie Christidis|year=2004|title=Phylogeny and Evolution of the Australo-Papuan Honeyeaters (Passeriformes, Meliphagidae)|journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution|pmid=15120392|volume=31|issue=3|pages=943–60|doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2003.10.017}} 3. ^{{cite news |last1=Siossian |first1=Emma |title=Conservationists push to save critically endangered regent honeyeater's only known breeding site from development |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-29/push-to-protect-critically-endangered-regent-honeyeaters/10934296 |accessdate=30 March 2019 |work=ABC Mid North Coast |date=28 March 2019}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/recovery-plans/regent-honeyeater-xanthomyza-phrygia-recovery-plan-1999-2003#12 |title=Regent Honeyeater (Xanthomyza phrygia) Recovery Plan 1999-2003 |work= |author1=Menkhorst, Peter |author2=Schedvin, Natasha |author3=Geering, David |last-author-amp=yes |publisher=Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, Australia |date=May 1999 |deadurl=no |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20161108112012/http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/recovery-plans/regent-honeyeater-xanthomyza-phrygia-recovery-plan-1999-2003%2312#12 |archivedate=2016-11-08 |accessdate=2016-11-08 |df= }} 5. ^BirdLife International.
