Carterornis is a genus of birds in the family Monarchidae that are found in Australia and Melanesia.
When the genus Monarcha was split based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2005, 3 species were moved to the resurrected genus Carterornis. The genus had originally been introduced by the Australian born ornithologist Gregory Mathews in 1912 with the white-eared monarch (Carterornis leucotis) as the type species. [2] [3] [4]
The genus contains the following species: [4]
| Image | Common Name | Scientific name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
 | White-eared monarch | Carterornis leucotis | north-eastern Australia. |
| White-naped monarch | Carterornis pileatus | Maluku Islands. | |
| Tanimbar monarch | Carterornis castus [5] | Tanimbar Islands. | |
 | Golden monarch | Carterornis chrysomela | New Guinea. |
The monarchs comprise a family of over 100 passerine birds which includes shrikebills, paradise flycatchers, and magpie-larks.
The black-faced monarch is a passerine songbird in the family Monarchidae found along the eastern seaboard of Australia, and also New Guinea.
The white-breasted robin is a passerine bird in the Australasian robin family Petroicidae and the yellow robin genus Eopsaltria. Occasionally it is placed in the genus Quoyornis Mathews, 1912. It is endemic to southwestern Australia. Unlike many other Australian robins, it lacks bright colours in its plumage, being a predominantly greyish bird with white underparts. Like other closely related Australasian robins, it is a cooperative breeder. It is sedentary, with pairs or small groups maintaining territories.
Grallina is a genus of passerine bird native to Australia and New Guinea. It is a member of a group of birds termed monarch flycatchers.
Monarcha is a genus of bird in the family Monarchidae. They are found in Australia and Melanesia.
The Tanimbar monarch, or Loetoe monarch is a bird in the family Monarchidae endemic to Indonesia. It is found in the Tanimbar Islands.
The golden monarch is a species of passerine bird in the family Monarchidae found in New Guinea. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. The golden monarch displays marked sexual dimorphism, the male a striking golden colour with black mask, wings and tail, the female a golden or golden-olive colour. Both bear a characteristic 'teardrop' white pattern below the eye.
The white-naped monarch is a species of bird in the family Monarchidae. It is endemic to Indonesia, where it occurs in the Maluku Islands. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
Myiagra is a genus of passerine birds in the family Monarchidae, the monarch flycatchers, native to Australasia, sometimes referred to as the broad-billed flycatchers or simply broadbills.
The shining flycatcher is a species of bird in the family Monarchidae. It is found in northern Australia, and from the Moluccas to the Bismarck Archipelago. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical mangrove forest.
Poecilodryas is a genus of passerine birds in the Australasian robin family Petroicidae.
Pomarea is a genus of birds in the monarch flycatcher family Monarchidae. The genus is restricted to the islands of Polynesia. The monarchs of this genus are around 15–19 cm long and most have sexually dimorphic plumage.
Tregellasia is a genus of birds in the family Petroicidae that are found in Australia and New Guinea.
Symposiachrus is a genus of birds in the family Monarchidae. Most species are endemic to islands in Melanesia but the spectacled monarch is widely distributed and occurs in parts of Indonesia and western Australia. The genus was previously lumped together in the genus Monarcha.
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. Birds in this genus typically occupy dry open forest and woodland habitats, and can be found in arid and semi-arid environments.
The Malaita monarch is a species of passerine bird in the monarch flycatcher family Monarchidae. It is endemic to the island of Malaita in the Solomon Islands archipelago. It was formerly treated as conspecific with the Solomons monarch.
Kempiella is a genus of birds in the Australasian robin family Petroicidae that are found in Australia and New Guinea.
Microptilotis is a genus of birds in the honeyeater family Meliphagidae.
The genus Zanda has three species of cockatoos. They are all mostly black in colour, and the taxa may be differentiated partly by size and partly by small areas of red, grey, and yellow plumage, especially in the tail feathers.
The Vella Lavella monarch, is a passerine bird in the Monarch flycatcher family Monarchidae. It is endemic to the islands of Ranongga and Vella Lavella in the Solomon Islands archipelago. It was formerly considered as conspecific with the Kolombangara monarch.
