Melithreptus
''Melithreptus'' is a genus of bird in the honeyeater family Meliphagidae. Its members are native to Australia. It is generally considered to contain seven species, although some authors have classified the related blue-faced honeyeater within this genus. The genus was originally defined by French ornithologist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot in 1817. William John Swainson had coined the term ''Eidopsarus'' in 1837. He named the black-headed honeyeater ''Eidopsarus affinis'' in 1839, which Gould, likely unaware, described as ''Melithreptus melanocephalus'' in 1844. It has been further subdivided into two subgenera, ''Melithreptus'' and ''Eidopsarus'' based on foraging habits. Those of the former subgenus forage for insects in foliage or canopy, congregate in larger flocks, and are found in more open dry sclerophyll forests. They also have smaller feet and a less prominent or missing nuchal bar. Members of the subgenus ''Eidopsarus'' forage by probing for insects in bark of tree trunk ...

White-throated Honeyeater
The white-throated honeyeater (''Melithreptus albogularis'') is a bird of the honeyeater family Meliphagidae native to New Guinea and eastern and northern Australia. It is long, olive-green above and white below, with a black head, a white or pale blue patch over the eye, and a white stripe across the nape. Taxonomy John Gould described the white-throated honeyeater in 1848. Its species name comes from the Latin words ''albus'' 'white', and ''gula'' 'throat'." English naturalist Charles Walter De Vis described ''Melithreptus vinitinctus'' from a specimen collected by K. Broadbent in the Kimberley in 1884. This was later synonymized with ''M. albogularis''. Traditionally, two subspecies have been recognised: subspecies ''albogularis'' from northwestern Australia, the Northern Territory and Cape York, and subspecies ''inopinatus'' from central and southeastern Queensland. However, genetic work published in 2010 surprisingly found that the Carpentarian Barrier (south of the Gulf o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gilbert's Honeyeater
Gilbert's honeyeater (''Melithreptus chloropsis''), also known as the Swan River honeyeater or western white-naped honeyeater, is a passerine bird of the honeyeater family Meliphagidae native to southwestern Australia. A mid-sized honeyeater, it is olive-green above and white below, with a black head, nape and throat and a white patch over the eye and a white crescent-shaped patch on the nape. The bill is brownish-black and the eyes a dull red. The sexes have similar plumage. Taxonomy Gilbert's honeyeater was originally described by John Gould in 1848, who gave it the species epithet ''chloropsis'' from the Ancient Greek terms ''chloros'' 'green-yellow' and ''opsis'' 'eye'. Gregory Mathews coined the name ''Melithreptus whitlocki'' in 1909 from a specimen collected by a Mr F. L. Whitlock from Wilson Inlet. Mathews stated that it was distinct due to having a white eye-ring year-round. This is no longer recognised as a distinguishing feature. Treated as a subspecies of the white- ...

Black-chinned Honeyeater
The black-chinned honeyeater (''Melithreptus gularis'') is a species of passerine bird in the family Meliphagidae. It is endemic to Australia. Two subspecies are recognised. Its natural habitats are temperate forests and subtropical or tropical dry forests. Taxonomy The black-chinned honeyeater was first described by John Gould in 1837 as ''Haematops gularis''. He also described what he called the golden-backed honeyeater (as ''Melithreptus laetior'') of northern Australia in 1875. Frederick George Waterhouse of the South Australian Museum had sent him four skins, writing of their beauty. Gould noted that it was clearly closely related to ''M. gularis'', but differed in its plumage and smaller size. Richard Schodde united them into a single species in 1975, though Hugh Ford queried this in 1986, as he felt the two forms were as distinct as the yellow-tinted and fuscous honeyeaters that had similar ranges. Schodde countered that the black-chinned and golden-backed honeyeaters shar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
