 PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF MITOCHONDRIAL DNA IN TWO SPECIES OF WHITE-EYES IN AUSTRALIA
Zosterops lateralis, the Silvereye, is a very mo- bile and wide-ranging species found through- out most of eastern, southern and southwestern Australia, where six subspecies are recognized (Fig.
Zosterops lutea, the Yellow White-eye, is en- demic to the north coastal parts of Australia and arguably comprises two subspecies (Fig.
There is an outlying population on the east coast of the continent, within the range of the Silvereye (Lavery and Grimes 1974) and, in the west, the range of the Yellow White-eye overlaps narrowly with that of the Silvereye.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Proposed Endangered Status for the Rota Bridled White-Eye (Zosterops rotensis) From the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands
The Rota bridled white-eye is a recognized species of white-eyes endemic to the Mariana archipelago, which comprises the U.S. Territory of Guam and the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Baker (1951) reports that the Rota bridled white-eye was first grouped with a population of birds on Palau as Zosterops semperi.
