 | | Perkins (07) was the first to point out that the drepanids are divisible into two distinct groups, the group "chlorodrepanine," or green section, or subfamily Psittirostrinae (which included the nukupu'u), and the group "melanodrepanine," or subfamily Drepaniinae, which had some fl plumage. |
 | | Pratt places the Hawaiian honeycreepers in the Family Fringillidae, Subfamily Drepanidinae; the nukupu'u (Hemignathus lucidus) in the Tribe Hemignathini, Genus Hemignathus (akialoas, nukupu'us, and amakihis), Subgenus Heterorhynchus; acknowledging: Hemignathus lucidus lucidus Lichtenstein 1839 (extinct); Hemignathus lucidus hanapepe Wilson 1889, and Hemignathus lucidus affinus Rothschild 1893. |
 | | The 1983 AOU Checklist (09) accepted the revision of the Family Fringillidae to include the Subfamily Drepanidinae (Hawaiian honeycreepers-formerly Family Drepanididae), which is divided into the Tribe Psittirostrini (Hawaiian finches), the Tribe Hemignathini (Hawaiian creepers and allies, including nukupu'u (Hemignathus lucidus)), and the Tribe Drepanidini (Mamos, iiwis and allies). |
