Sombre Greenbul
The sombre greenbul (''Andropadus importunus'') is a member of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is a resident breeder in coastal bush, evergreen forest and dry shrub land in eastern and southern Africa. It is the only member of the genus ''Andropadus''. Taxonomy and systematics Eighteen species of greenbuls originally described in the genus ''Andropadus'' were re-classified to the genera '' Arizelocichla'', '' Stelgidillas'' and ''Eurillas'' in 2010. This has left ''Andropadus'' as a monotypic genus with the sombre greenbul remaining as its sole extant species. The sombre greenbul was originally described in the genus ''Turdus'' and was later re-classified to the genus ''Andropadus''. Alternatively, some authorities classify the sombre greenbul in the genus ''Pycnonotus''. Alternate names for the sombre greenbul include the sombre bulbul, southern sombre bulbul and southern sombre greenbul.

Slender-billed Greenbul
The slender-billed greenbul (''Stelgidillas gracilirostris'') is a species in the monotypic genus ''Stelgidillas'' of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is found in western and central Africa.
