  is 649, "Symplecte? bicolor amaurocephalus" a defunct classification? There is no entry for it on Wikispecies; has it been reclassified?

  Symplectes seems to be a synonym of Ploceus: http://taxonomicon.taxonomy.nl/TaxonName.aspx?id=59005&tree=0.1

  Ploceus bicolor is the Dark-backed Weaver, also called Forest Weaver: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark-backed_Weaver

  According to Google, the subspecies Ploceus bicolor amaurocephalus seems to exist, too. So this is probably the same.

  Thanks, T-M! I am finding more taxonomic websites to search. http://www.itis.gov/ is good because it also lists defunct classifications
