The Javan bulbul (Ixos virescens) is a songbird species in the bulbul family. It is the type species of the genus Ixos . [2] It is endemic to the island of Java in Indonesia in its natural habitat of subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN. [3]
The Javan bulbul is sometimes classified in the genus Hypsipetes , presumably based on an earlier error in the Sibley taxonomy. The specific epithet virescens was given to the present species by Coenraad Jacob Temminck in 1825 and pre-dates the same name as given to the Nicobar bulbul by Edward Blyth in 1845. [4] The olive bulbul has also been given the same scientific binomial, Hypsipetes virescens. Alternate names for the Javan bulbul include the green mountain bulbul, green-backed bulbul, green-winged bulbul, rufous-bellied bulbul, streaked bulbul and streaked mountain bulbul. The name 'streaked bulbul' should not be confused with the species of the same name, Ixos malaccensis .
