Caligavis is a genus of honeyeaters endemic to New Guinea and Australia. It includes former members of Lichenostomus, and was created after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2011 showed that the original genus was polyphyletic.[2]
Species
The genus contains three species:[3]
| Image | Scientific name | Common Name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
C. chrysops | Yellow-faced honeyeater | south, east Australia |
| C. subfrenata | Black-throated honeyeater | New Guinea | |
| C. obscura | Obscure honeyeater | New Guinea |
The name Caligavis was first proposed by the English-born ornithologist Tom Iredale in 1956.[4][5] The word is derived from the Latin caligo meaning obscurity and avis bird.[6]
