Periporphyrus is a genus of grosbeaks in the cardinal family Cardinalidae.
The genus was introduced by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in 1850. [1] The type species was subsequently designated as the red-and-black grosbeak. [2] [3] The name Periporphyrus combines the Ancient Greek peri meaning "exceedingly" with porphureos meaning "rosy". [4]
The genus contains two species: [5]
Penelopides is the genus of relatively small, primarily frugivorous hornbills restricted to forested areas of the Philippines. Their common name, tarictic hornbills, is an onomatopoetic reference to the main call of several of them. They have a ridged plate-like structure on the base of their mandible. All are sexually dimorphic: males of all species are whitish-buff and black, while females of all except the Mindoro hornbill are primarily black.
