Remarks
Species status of these Anser geese uncertain. Split of Anser serrirostris from A. fabalis followed AOU/NACC 2007 but may have been premature (e.g. see Ottenburghs et al. 2023). Rukonen et al. (2008) suggest that middendorffii is basal to the clade that includes both fabalis and serrirostris, based on mtDNA control region. Author citation Gould, 1852 rather than Swinhoe, 1871 (H&M 4:10).
