Arizelocichla
''Arizelocichla'' is a genus of greenbuls, songbirds in the bulbul family (Pycnonotidae). The genus was revived in 2010 when twelve species of bulbuls from the genus '' Andropadus'' were separated and re-classified in the genus ''Arizelocichla''. Taxonomy A molecular phylogenetic study of the bulbuls published in 2007 found that the genus '' Andropadus'' was polyphyletic. As part of a reorganization to create monophyletic genera, 12 species from ''Andropadus'' were moved to the resurrected genus ''Arizelocichla'' that had been introduced in 1905 by the American ornithologist Harry C. Oberholser with the mountain greenbul as the type species. The name ''Arizelocichla'' combines the Ancient Greek ''arizēlos'' meaning "conspicuous" or "admirable" with ''kikhlē'' meaning "thrush". Species The genus contains the following 12 species: * Cameroon greenbul (''Arizelocichla montana'') * Western greenbul (''Arizelocichla tephrolaema'') * Kakamega greenbul (''Arizelocichla kakamegae ...

Greenbul
The greenbuls are a group of birds within the bulbul family Pycnonotidae, found only within Africa. They are all largely drab olive-green above, and paler below, with few distinguishing features. The "aberrant greenbuls" of the genera '' Bernieria'' and ''Xanthomixis'' are actually Malagasy warblers. To recognize this, they are also called bernieria and tetrakas rather than greenbuls. Likewise, the golden greenbul is not a typical greenbul, but apparently the representative of a distinct and ancient lineage of bulbuls, which might include the black-collared bulbul. A few species within some of the genera in this group are called brownbuls or leafloves. * Genus ''Phyllastrephus'' ** Grey-olive greenbul (''Phyllastrephus cerviniventris'') ** Pale-olive greenbul (''Phyllastrephus fulviventris'') ** Baumann's olive greenbul (''Phyllastrephus baumanni'') ** Toro olive greenbul (''Phyllastrephus hypochloris'') ** Sassi's olive greenbul (''Phyllastrephus lorenzi'') ** Fischer's gre ...
