Chlorocichla is a genus of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. They are mainly present throughout the African tropical rainforest, excepted the yellow-bellied greenbul, native to the miombo woodlands.
Taxonomy
The genus Chlorocichla was introduced in 1882 by the English ornithologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe.[1] Sharpe did not specify a type species but this was designated as the yellow-bellied greenbul by Anton Reichenow in 1904–1905.[2][3] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek khlōros meaning "pale green" or "yellow" with kikhlē meaning "thrush".[4]
Species
The genus contains five species:[5]
Joyful greenbul (Chlorocichla laetissima)
Prigogine's greenbul (Chlorocichla prigoginei)
Falkenstein's greenbul (Chlorocichla falkensteini)
Yellow-bellied greenbul (Chlorocichla flaviventris)
Simple greenbul (Chlorocichla simplex)
Former species
Formerly, some authorities also considered the following species (or subspecies) as species within the genus Chlorocichla:
Honeyguide greenbul (as Chlorocichla indicator, now Baeopogon indicator)[6]
Yellow-throated leaflove (as Chlorocichla flavicollis, now Atimastillas flavicollis)[7]
