Hypsipetes
__NOTOC__ ''Hypsipetes'' is a genus of bulbuls, songbirds in the family Pycnonotidae. Most of its species occur in tropical forests around the Indian Ocean. But while the genus is quite diverse in the Madagascar region at the western end of its range it does not reach the African mainland. Most ''Hypsipetes'' bulbuls are dark greyish birds with orange or red bills and feet. The feathers on top of the head are slightly elongated and usually black, and can be erected to form a short and wispy crest. Taxonomy and systematics The genus ''Hypsipetes'' was introduced in 1831 by the Irish zoologist Nicholas Aylward Vigors with ''Hypsipetes psaroides'' as the type species. This taxon is now a subspecies of the black bulbul ''Hypsipetes leucocephalus psaroides''. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ''hupsi'' meaning "high" with ''petēs'' meaning "-flyer". Species The genus contains 19 species: * Philippine bulbul (''Hypsipetes philippinus'') * Mindoro bulbul (''Hypsipetes mind ...

Black Bulbul
The black bulbul (''Hypsipetes leucocephalus''), also known as the Himalayan black bulbul or Asian black bulbul, is a member of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is found primarily in the Himalayas, its range stretching from India eastward to Southeast Asia. It is the type species of the genus ''Hypsipetes'', established by Nicholas Aylward Vigors in the early 1830s. There are a number of subspecies, mostly varying in the shade of the body plumage which ranges from grey to black, and some also occur in white-headed morphs, as also suggested by its specific epithet ''leucocephalus'', literally "white head". The legs and bill are always rich orange-red. Taxonomy and systematics The black bulbul was originally described in the genus Turdus and has also been considered as either conspecific with or as subspecies of the Malagasy bulbul. The common name 'black bulbul' is also used as an alternate name for the Malagasy bulbul. Formerly, the square-tailed bulbul was also cl ...

Mauritius Bulbul
The Mauritius bulbul (''Hypsipetes olivaceus''), is a songbird belonging to the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is endemic to Mauritius. Taxonomy and systematics The Mauritius bulbul was the type species of the obsolete genus ''Ixocincla'', which united various more or less closely related bulbuls from the entire Indian Ocean region.Gregory (2000) Formerly, some authorities considered the Mauritius bulbul to belong to the genus ''Turdus''. It has also been classified as a subspecies of the Réunion bulbul. Alternative names include the Mauritius black bulbul and the Mauritius merle.

Brown-eared Bulbul
The brown-eared bulbul (''Hypsipetes amaurotis'') is a medium-sized bulbul native to eastern Asia. It is extremely common within the northern parts of its range and can be found from southern Sakhalin to the northern Philippines. Taxonomy and systematics The brown-eared bulbul was originally described in the genus ''Turdus''. Later, some authorities placed it in the genus ''Ixos'' and then the genus '' Microscelis,'' before being re-classified to ''Hypsipetes'' in 2010.
