Monasa is a genus of puffbird in the Bucconidae family.
The genus was introduced by the French ornithologist Louis Vieillot in 1816 with the black nunbird (Monasa atra) as the type species.[1][2] The generic name is from the Ancient Greek monas meaning "solitary".[3]
The genus contains four species:[4]
