 MIMICRY OF FRIARBIRDS BY ORIOLES
One species group of Oriolus has invaded and differentiated in the Australian region, so that the orioles of the Oriolus [bouroensis] su- perspecies and friarbirds of the Philemon [moluccensis] superspecies now share eight is- lands or island groups.
This oriole is yellow and fl like most Afro-Asian orioles and to- tally unlike the brown P. buceroides, although the next two islands to the east of Alor (Wetar and Timor) are shared by P. buceroides and the smaller O. [bouroensis], and the smaller orioles do mimic P. buceroides.
Annual rainfall in the lowlands, where orioles and friarbirds live, is 200 cm or higher on New Guinea, Halmahera, Ceram, and Buru, lower on Timor, Wetar, and Tenimbar, and lowest (down to 60 cm) in some areas of Aus- tralia occupied by these species.

One subspecies hypsiclides (from Vanuatu, New Hebrides) has been regarded by some as a full species - oddly it is also described (and shown above) from Wetar island in the Lesser Sunda group of Indonesia.
Such a disparate range is not logical, and the New Hebrides form is undoubtedly separate from the Wetar form.
Twelve or more subspecies, as each tiny island seems to have a distinct population; many are exceedingly variable, and can be found in both tailed and tail-less forms.
