Saxicola macrorhynchus (*) Cladus: Eukaryota Name Saxicola macrorhynchus (Stoliczka, 1872) Vernacular names Reference The Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal 41 p.238 Stoliczka's Bushchat, Saxicola macrorhynchus,[note 1] is an Old World flycatcher in the genus Saxicola. It is also known as the White-browed Bushchat. The name is after the discoverer, geologist and explorer Ferdinand Stoliczka. This desert specialist has a small, declining population because of agricultural intensification and encroachment, which qualifies it as vulnerable. Stolizkca's Bushchat is found in an area of semi- arid country in north-western India and eastern Pakistan. It has apparently strayed as far east as the Bharatpur area of Rajasthan and as far south as Goa and Pune,[2] with two simultaneous historical records from southern Afghanistan. Notes 1. ^ Saxicola is masculine leading to the species epithet ending in -us
