Ptilotula
''Ptilotula '' is a genus of honeyeater consisting of species occurring in Australia and Papua New Guinea. The genus consists of six former members of ''Lichenostomus'', and was created after a molecular analysis showed the genus was polyphyletic. The International Ornithologists' Union accepted this change and officially included the genus in reference lists from 2013. The type species is the yellow-tinted honeyeater (''Ptilotula flavescens''). Birds in this genus typically occupy dry open forest and woodland habitats, and can be found in arid and semi-arid environments. Species The genus includes six species: * Yellow-tinted honeyeater (''Ptilotula flavescens'') * Grey-headed honeyeater (''P. keartlandi'') * Yellow-plumed honeyeater (''P. ornata'') * Grey-fronted honeyeater (''P. plumula'') * Fuscous honeyeater (''P. fusca'') * White-plumed honeyeater (''P. penicillata'') Description ''Ptilotula'' species are medium-sized honeyeaters ranging from 13 cm to 18.5 c ...

Grey-headed Honeyeater
The grey-headed honeyeater (''Ptilotula keartlandi'') is a species of bird in the family Meliphagidae. It is endemic to Australia. Nomenclature, taxonomy and evolutionary history First described as ''Ptilotis keartlandi'' in 1895 by Australian ornithologist Alfred John North, the grey-headed honeyeater is named in honour of the ornithological collector George Arthur Keartland, who collected the type specimen. The taxonomy of the species has been complex since its description. For example, the species was listed in the genus ''Meliphaga'' in 1926 by the Royal Australian Ornithological Union Official Checklist of Birds, and then in the genus ''Lichenostomus'' by Schodde in 1975. Most recently, the grey-headed honeyeater has been placed in the genus ''Ptilotula'', which contains five other Australian species that all share characteristically plain faces, subtended by a black proximal and yellow or white distal plume across the side of the neck. The generic name ''Ptilotula'' derive ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Yellow-plumed Honeyeater
The yellow-plumed honeyeater (''Ptilotula ornata'') is a species of bird in the family Meliphagidae. It is endemic to Australia, where it inhabits temperate forests and Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation. The yellow-plumed honeyeater was previously placed in the genus ''Lichenostomus'', but was moved to ''Ptilotula'' after a molecular phylogenetic analysis, published in 2011, showed that the original genus was polyphyletic. Description The yellow-plumed honeyeater is a medium-sized honeyeater with a relatively long, down-curved black bill, a dark face and a distinctive, upswept yellow neck plume. It has an olive-green head, with a faint yellow line under the dark eye, grey-green upperparts, and heavily streaked grey-brown underparts. Young birds have a yellow bill base and eye-ring. Similar species include purple-gaped honeyeater,Tzaros, C. (2021) ''Wildlife of the Box-Ironbark Country.'' 2nd Edition, CSIRO Publishing, Melbourne, Victoria, grey-fronted honeyeater and fusco ...

Fuscous Honeyeater
The fuscous honeyeater (''Ptilotula fusca'') is a species of bird in the family Meliphagidae. It is endemic to eastern Australia. The fuscous honeyeater is dull grey-brown to olive-brown above with buffy-grey underparts. The bill is black and the eye-ring dark. It has a small black and yellow plume formed by the rear edge of the ear coverts.Morcombe, Michael (2012) ''Field Guide to Australian Birds''. Pascal Press, Glebe, NSW. Revised edition. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. The fuscous honeyeater was previously placed in the genus ''Lichenostomus'', but was moved to ''Ptilotula'' after a molecular phylogenetic analysis, published in 2011, showed that the original genus was polyphyletic.

Lichenostomus
''Lichenostomus'' is a genus of honeyeaters endemic to Australia. The genus formerly contained twenty species but it was split after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2011 showed that the genus was polyphyletic. Former members were moved to the six new genera: '' Nesoptilotis'', '' Bolemoreus'', ''Caligavis'', ''Stomiopera'', '' Gavicalis'' and ''Ptilotula''. The genus contains two species: The name ''Lichenostomus'' was introduced by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1851. The word is derived from the Greek Greek may refer to: Greece Anything of, from, or related to Greece, a country in Southern Europe: *Greeks, an ethnic group. *Greek language, a branch of the Indo-European language family. **Proto-Greek language, the assumed last common ancestor ...

International Ornithologists' Union
The International Ornithologists' Union, formerly known as the International Ornithological Committee, is a group of about 200 international ornithologists, and is responsible for the International Ornithological Congress and other international ornithological activities, undertaken by its standing committees. International Ornithological Congress The International Ornithological Congress series forms the oldest and largest international series of meetings of ornithologists. It is organised by the International Ornithologists' Union. The first meeting was in 1884; subsequent meetings were irregular until 1926 since when meetings have been held every four years, except for two missed meetings during and in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War.
