Ceblepyris is a genus of African passerine birds in the cuckooshrike family Campephagidae.
These species were formerly placed in the genus Coracina . A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that Coracina, as then defined, was non-monophyletic. In the resulting reorganization to create monophyletic genera these species were moved to the resurrected genus Ceblepyris. [2]
The genus contains the following five species: [3]
