The grey-capped cicadabird or Melanesian cicadabird (Edolisoma remotum) is a species of bird in the family Campephagidae. It is endemic to the Bismarck Archipelago. It was previously considered conspecific with the common cicadabird (E. tenuirostre).
There are 5 subspecies recognized: [2]
The subspecies E. r. nisorium was formerly classified within the common cicadabird, but this classification was found to be erroneous by the International Ornithological Congress in 2022. [3]
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
The island thrush is a common forest bird in the thrush family. Almost 50 subspecies have been described, ranging from South East Asia and Melanesia, to Samoa, exhibiting great differences in plumage. Several subspecies are threatened and three have already become extinct.
The aberrant bush warbler is a species in the bush warbler family, Cettiidae. It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage.

The Sulawesi cicadabird is a species of bird in the family Campephagidae. It is endemic to Sulawesi in Indonesia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The species is placed in the reinstated genus Edolisoma by some authors and the nominate subspecies E. morio morio was suggested to be part of the Edolisoma tenuirostre complex in a molecular phylogenetic study by Pedersen et al.
