<p dir="ltr">The Solomon Islands is home to 65 endemic species of birds and a total of 335 species. The scientific names of two of these species need to be corrected according to Article 31 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, which mandates how scientific names are formed. The species-group names in <i>Ceyx gentiana</i> and <i>Zosterops tetiparia</i> are corrected here for their gender.</p>
