Atimastillas is a genus of passerine birds in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. They are found in wooded areas of tropical Africa.
The genus Atimastillas was introduced in 1905 by the American ornithologist Harry C. Oberholser with Heamatornis flavicollis Swainson, the yellow-gorgeted greenbul, as the type species. [1] [2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ατιμαστος/atimastos meaning "disdained" with ιλλας/illas, ιλλαδοςillados meaning "thrush". [3]
The genus contains two species: [4]
The bulbuls are members of a family, Pycnonotidae, of medium-sized passerine songbirds, which also includes greenbuls, brownbuls, leafloves, and bristlebills. The family is distributed across most of Africa and into the Middle East, tropical Asia to Indonesia, and north as far as Japan. A few insular species occur on the tropical islands of the Indian Ocean. There are 166 species in 32 genera. While different species are found in a wide range of habitats, the African species are predominantly found in rainforest, whereas Asian bulbuls are predominantly found in more open areas.
The black-headed bulbul is a member of the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found in forests in south-eastern Asia.
Arizelocichla is a genus of greenbuls, songbirds in the bulbul family (Pycnonotidae). The genus was revived in 2010 when twelve species of bulbuls from the genus Andropadus were separated and re-classified in the genus Arizelocichla.
The yellow-throated mountain greenbul, also known as the yellow-throated greenbul, is a species of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is an African species found in east-central and southern Tanzania.
The slender-billed greenbul is a species in the monotypic genus Stelgidillas of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is found in western and central Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
Baeopogon is a genus of passerine birds in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae.
Chlorocichla is a genus of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. They are mainly present throughout the African tropical rainforest, excepted the yellow-bellied greenbul, native to the miombo woodlands.
The yellow-gorgeted greenbul, formerly known as the yellow-throated leaflove, is a species of passerine bird in the bulbul family Pycnonotidae. It is found in West Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, moist savanna, and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland.
Prigogine's greenbul is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found only in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Criniger is a genus of songbirds in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. The species of Criniger are found in western and central Africa.
The white-throated greenbul or white-throated bulbul, is a species of passerine bird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is widespread across the African tropical rainforest. It was formerly considered to be conspecific with the Angola greenbul.
Phyllastrephus is a songbird genus in the bulbul family Pycnonotidae. Most of the species in the genus are typical greenbuls, though two are brownbuls, and one is a leaflove.
Pycnonotus is a genus of frugivorous passerine birds in the bulbul family Pycnonotidae.
The thick-billed green pigeon is a species of bird in the family Columbidae.
The coal-crested finch is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. Though previously classified in the bunting and American sparrow family Emberizidae, molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that it is a member of the large tanager family Thraupidae. It is the only member of the genus Charitospiza.
The bristlebills are a genus Bleda of passerine birds in the bulbul family Pycnonotidae. They are found in the forest understorey of western and central Africa. They forage for insects at or near ground-level, often near water. They will follow driver ant swarms to catch prey items fleeing from the ants and they frequently join mixed-species feeding flocks.
Eurillas is a genus of greenbuls, passerine birds in the bulbul family Pycnonotidae.
The olive-headed greenbul is a species of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is found in east Africa.
The Angola greenbul is a species of passerine bird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found in northwest Angola. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the white-throated greenbul.
The pale-throated greenbul is a species of passerine bird in the bulbul family Pycnonotidae. It is found in western central Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, moist savanna, and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland.
