Cyanistes is a genus of birds in the tit family Paridae. The genus was at one time considered as a subgenus of Parus. In 2005 an article describing a molecular phylogenetic study that had examined mitochondrial DNA sequences from members of the tit family, proposed that a number of subgenera including Cyanistes be elevated to genus status.[1] This proposal was accepted by the International Ornithologists' Union[2] and the British Ornithologists' Union.[3]
Species
The genus contains three species:[2]
| Image | Scientific name | Common Name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Cyanistes caeruleus | Eurasian blue tit | Europe |
 |
Cyanistes teneriffae | African blue tit | northern Africa and the Canary Islands. |

Cyanistes cyanus | Azure tit | Russia and Central Asia and northwest China, Manchuria and Pakistan. |
The name Cyanistes was introduced for a subgenus by the German naturalist Jakob Kaup in 1829.[4] The word comes from the classical Greek kuanos meaning dark-blue.[5] The type species was designated as the Eurasian blue tit by George Gray in 1842.[6][7]
