Melaniparus Leucomelas Insignis, Cuanavale-rivier, Birding Weto Tours, A
''Melaniparus'' is a genus of birds in the tit family. The species were formerly placed in the speciose genus ''Parus'' but were moved to ''Melaniparus'' based on a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2013 that showed that the members formed a distinct clade. The genus ''Melaniparus'' had originally been introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1850. The type species was subsequently designated as the southern black tit (''Melaniparus niger''). The name of the genus combines the Ancient Greek ''melas'', ''melanos'' "black" and the genus ''Parus'' introduced by Carl Linnaeus Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his Nobility#Ennoblement, ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné#Blunt, Blunt (2004), p. 171.

Rufous-bellied Tit
The rufous-bellied tit (''Melaniparus rufiventris'') is a species of bird in the tit family. It is found in Africa from the Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo and northern Namibia east to Tanzania and northern Mozambique. Its habitat is subtropical or tropical dry miombo forests. This long bird has a black head, breast, wings and tail, grey upperparts, white fringes to the wing feathers, and rufous underparts. The adult has a yellow eye, brown in the duller juvenile. The cinnamon-breasted tit (''Melaniparus pallidiventris'') has sometimes been considered conspecific with the rufous-bellied tit. The cinnamon-breasted tit has a dark grey breast, washed-out underparts, and a brown eye at all ages. The rufous-bellied tit was formerly one of the many species in the genus ''Parus'' but was moved to the resurrected genus ''Melaniparus'' after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2013 showed that the members of the new genus formed a distinct clade ...

Parus Afer -Namaqua National Park, Northern Cape, South Africa -adult-6
''Parus'' is a genus of Old World birds in the tit family. It was formerly a large genus containing most of the 50 odd species in the family Paridae. The genus was split into several resurrected genera following the publication of a detailed molecular phylogenetic analysis in 2013. The genus name, ''Parus'', is the Latin for "tit". Taxonomy The genus ''Parus'' was introduced in 1758 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in the tenth edition of his ''Systema Naturae''. The genus name is Latin for "tit". Of the 12 species included in the genus by Linnaeus, the type species was designated as the great tit (''Parus major'') by George Robert Gray in 1840. Species The genus now contains the following species: Fossil record *''Parus robustus'' (Pliocene of Csarnota, Hungary) Kessler, E. 2013.

Cinnamon-breasted Tit
The cinnamon-breasted tit (''Melaniparus pallidiventris'') is passerine bird in the family Paridae. It is found in Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitat is miombo woodland. The cinnamon-breasted tit was described by the German ornithologist Anton Reichenow in 1885 based on a specimen collected at Kakoma in the Tabora Region of Tanzania. He coined the binomial name ''Parus pallidiventris''. The specific epithet combines the Latin ''pallidus'' "pale" and ''venter'', ''ventris'' "belly". It was formerly one of the many species placed in the genus ''Parus''. It was moved to the resurrected genus ''Melaniparus'' based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013.
