Asian Barbet
The Asian barbets are a family of bird species, the Megalaimidae, comprising two genera with 35 species native to the forests of the Indomalayan realm from Tibet to Indonesia. They were once clubbed with all barbets in the family Capitonidae but the Old World species have been found to be distinctive and are considered, along with the Lybiidae and Ramphastidae, as sister groups. In the past the species were placed in three genera, ''Caloramphus'', ''Megalaima'' and ''Psilopogon'', but studies show that ''Psilopogon'' to be nested within the clade of ''Megalaima''. Since members of this clade are better treated under a single genus, they have been moved to the genus ''Psilopogon'' which was described and erected earlier than ''Megalaima'' and is therefore chosen on the basis of taxonomic priority principles. Nearly all members of the family are now in the genus ''Psilopogon'', with the exception of those in ''Caloramphus'', which are thought to have genetically diverged from the ...

Sooty Barbet
The sooty barbet (''Caloramphus hayii'') is a species of bird in the family Megalaimidae. It is found in Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, Sumatra and formerly Singapore where it is extirpated.

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...

Psilopogon
''Psilopogon'' is a genus of Old World barbets that used to include only a single species, the fire-tufted barbet (''P. pyrolophus''). Results of molecular phylogenetic analyses indicate that the genus is nested within an evolutionary branch consisting of Asian barbets that were formerly placed in the genus ''Megalaima'' proposed by George Robert Gray in 1841. Since ''Psilopogon'' was proposed by Salomon Müller already in 1835, this name takes priority. The name ''Psilopogon'' combines the Ancient Greek ''psilos'' meaning "bare" and ''pōgōn'' meaning "beard". Taxonomy The type species of ''Psilopogon'' is the fire-tufted barbet proposed by Salomon Müller in 1835, who described a male barbet collected in Sumatra. In the 19th and 20th centuries, about 19 generic names were proposed for Asian barbet species in collections of natural history museums, including ''Megalaima'' by George Robert Gray in 1849 and ''Mezobucco'' by George Ernest Shelley in 1889.
