'''''Pitohui''''' is a genus of birds [[endemic (ecology)|endemic]] to [[New Guinea]].
'''''Pitohui''''' is a genus of birds [[endemic (ecology)|endemic]] to [[New Guinea]]. The birds formerly lumped together as [[pitohui]]s were found by a 2008 study that examined their evolutionary history on the basis of the genetic sequences to have included birds that were quite unrelated to each other. They have since been separated into other genera.

The name [[pitohui]] is somewhat confusing as it refers to both the genus name and also to all the species containing that name. Currently, there are eight species of birds called pitohui, and historically all were classified in the genus ''Pitohui''. Now however, they have been separated into three families and multiple genera. The genus ''Pitohui'' is now placed in the family [[Oriolidae]], with the other pitohuis placed in the families [[Pachycephalidae]] and [[Oreoicidae]].


The common group name [[pitohui]] includes several species of birds that were all historically classified in the genus ''Pitohui''.

Pitohui is a genus of birds endemic to New Guinea. The birds formerly lumped together as pitohuis were found by a 2008 study that examined their evolutionary history on the basis of the genetic sequences to have included birds that were quite unrelated to each other. They have since been separated into other genera.

Taxonomy and systematics

[edit]

The genus Pitohui was introduced in 1831 by the French naturalist René Lesson.[1] Lesson omitted to specify the type species but this was designated as the northern variable pitohui by Richard Bowdler Sharpe in 1877.[2][3] The genus name is a Papuan word for the variable pitohui.[4]

The common group name pitohui includes several species of birds that were all historically classified in the genus Pitohui. But now they have been separated into three families and multiple genera. The genus Pitohui in its strict sense is now placed in the family Oriolidae, while the other pitohui genera have been placed in the families Oreoicidae and Pachycephalidae.[5][6]

Species

[edit]

Four species are recognized in the revised genus Pitouhi:[7]

Image Common Name Scientific name Distribution
Northern variable pitohui Pitohui kirhocephalus New Guinea
Raja Ampat pitohui Pitohui cerviniventris western Papuan Islands of New Guinea.
Southern variable pitohui Pitohui uropygialis New Guinea
Hooded pitohui Pitohui dichrous New Guinea.

Former species

[edit]

Species that were formerly sometimes placed in the genus Pitohui include the following:
