Sittiparus
''Sittiparus'' is a genus of birds in the tit family Paridae. The species in the genus were formerly included in ''Parus'' but were moved to ''Sittiparus'' when ''Parus'' was split into several resurrected genera following the publication of a detailed molecular phylogenetic analysis in 2013. The genus ''Sittiparus'' had originally been erected by the Belgium politician and naturalist Edmond de Sélys Longchamps in 1884 with the varied tit as the type species. The genus contains the following species: The subspecies Daito varied tit, '' S. v. orii'', became extinct Extinction is the termination of a kind of organism or of a group of kinds (taxon), usually a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and ... in the 1940s, the only tit to have done so.

Varied Tit
The varied tit (''Sittiparus varius'') is a perching bird from the tit family, Paridae. It occurs in the eastern Palearctic in Japan, Korea, and locally in northeastern China (southern Liaoning) and extreme southeastern Russia (southern Kurile Islands). Taxonomy The varied tit was described by the Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck and the German ornithologist Hermann Schlegel in 1845 and given the binomial name ''Parus varius''. Until the end of the twentieth century the varied tit was usually placed along with most of the other member of the tit family in the genus ''Parus''. In 2005 the report of a molecular phylogenetic study that examined mitochondrial DNA sequences from members of the tit family, recommended including the varied tit along with around fifteen other species in the resurrected genus ''Poecile''. The authors of a 2013 study that analysed both mitochondrial and nuclear sequences, suggested splitting ''Poecile'' and placing the varied tit and its sister ta ...

Chestnut-bellied Tit
The chestnut-bellied tit (''Sittiparus castaneoventris'') is a small passerine bird in the tit family Paridae that is endemic to Taiwan. The chestnut-bellied tit was first described by the English ornithologist John Gould in 1863 and given the binomial name ''Parus castaneoventris''. The title page gives the year as 1862. It was formerly considered as a subspecies of the varied tit but was promoted to species status after the publication of a phylogenetic In biology, phylogenetics (; from Greek φυλή/ φῦλον [] "tribe, clan, race", and wikt:γενετικός, γενετικός [] "origin, source, birth") is the study of the evolutionary history and relationships among or within groups o ... study in 2014.

Tit (bird)
The tits, chickadees, and Titmouse, titmice constitute the Paridae, a large family of small passerine birds which occur mainly in the Northern Hemisphere and Africa. Most were formerly classified in the genus ''Parus''. Members of this family are commonly referred to as "tits" throughout much of the English speaking world, but North American species are called either "chickadees" (onomatopoeic, derived from their distinctive "chick-a dee dee dee" alarm call) or "titmice". The name titmouse is recorded from the 14th century, composed of the Old English language, Old English name for the bird, ''mase'' (Proto-Germanic ''*maison'', Dutch language, Dutch ''mees'', German language, German ''Meise''), and tit, denoting something small. The former spelling, "titmose", was influenced by ''mouse'' in the 16th century. Emigrants to New Zealand presumably identified some of the superficially similar birds of the genus ''Petroica'' of the family Petroicidae, the Australian robins, as members ...

Iriomote Tit
The Iriomote tit (''Sittiparus olivaceus'') is a small passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is endemic to the Yaeyama Islands which lie to the south west of Japan and to the east of Taiwan. Iriomote is the name of the largest island in the group. The Iriomote tit was first described by the Japanese ornithologist Nagamichi Kuroda in 1923 and given the trinomial name ''Sittiparus varius olivaceus''. It was formerly considered as subspecies of the varied tit but after the publication of a phylogenetic study in 2014 it was promoted to species status. The species differs from the varied tit in having a washed olive colouring on the back.

Owston's Tit
Owston's tit (''Sittiparus owstoni'') is a small passerine bird in the tit family Paridae that is endemic to the southern Izu Islands south of Japan. Owston's tit was formerly considered as subspecies of the varied tit but was promoted to species status based on the results of a phylogenetic study published in 2014. The species was first described by Ijima Isao in 1893, based on two females from Miyake-jima obtained by Alan Owston Alan Owston (1853–1915) was born on 7 August 1853 at Pirbright, Surrey and was buried on 30 November 1915 at Yokohama in Japan. He was a collector of Asian wildlife, businessman and yachtsman, and founded the Yokohama Yacht Club in Japan. Alan Ow ...'s collector, and named ''Parus owstoni'' in his honour. This was the first description of a bird by a zoologist from Japan. It is larger than the varied tit, and lacks the buffish forehead and side of neck.

White-fronted Tit
The white-fronted tit (''Sittiparus semilarvatus'') is a species of bird in the family Paridae. It is endemic to the Philippines found in the islands of Luzon and Mindanao. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. Description and Taxonomy EBird describes the bird as "A small, uncommon bird of lowland and foothill forest canopy and edge. Entirely dark with an obvious white mark from the forehead down between the bill and eye. Males are entirely black and females have dark brown underparts. Varies regionally, with Mindanao birds having an additional white mark in the wing. Unmistakable. Voice includes a downslurred series of three fairly high-pitched downslurred notes, “piu-piu piu.” Also gives a rapid staccato trill.." It is often seen in exposed branches in the canopy. The white-fronted tit was formally described by the Italian ornithologist Tommaso Salvadori in 1865 under the binomial name ''Melaniparus semilarvatus''. The ...

Daito Varied Tit
The Daito varied tit is an extinct subspecies of the varied tit. It was formerly found on Kita Daitō-jima and Minami Daitō-jima in the Daitō group east of the Okinawa Islands, but became extinct around 1940. It seems that the last specimens collected were Kuroda's types taken in 1922, and that the last confirmed sighting was in 1938. Searches in the 1980s and subsequently failed to find any. The subspecies became extinct following the habitat destruction brought about by settlement and construction activity in the 1930s. It differed from the typical ''P. v. varius'' in having a broad chestnut-coloured band on the upper mantle, olive-green (not dark grey) lower mantle, and orangey (not white) sides to the head (Harrap & Quinn 1996, del Hoyo et al. 2007). Like many bird taxa from the Okinawa region, the scientific name is named after the veteran specimen collector Hyojiri Orii. References *del Hoyo, J., Elliot, A., & Christie D. (eds). (2007).

Type Species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen(s). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name that has that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have such types.

Poecile Varius On Tree 2
''Poecile'' is a genus of birds in the tit family Paridae. It contains 15 species, which are scattered across North America, Europe and Asia; the North American species are the chickadees. In the past, most authorities retained ''Poecile'' as a subgenus within the genus '' Parus'', but treatment as a distinct genus, initiated by the American Ornithologists Union, is now widely accepted. This is supported by mtDNA cytochrome ''b'' sequence analysis. The genus ''Poecile'' was erected by the German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup in 1829. The type species was subsequently designated as the marsh tit (''Poecile palustris'') by English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1842. The name ''Poecile'' is from Ancient Greek ''poikilos'' "colourful". A related word ''poikilidos'' denoted an unidentified small bird. It has traditionally been treated as feminine (giving name endings such as ''cincta''); however, this was not specified by the original genus author Johann Jakob Kaup, an ...
