Chalcophaps is a genus of small doves, commonly called emerald doves, that are found in Indomalaya and Australasia.
Taxonomy
The genus Chalcophaps was introduced by the English ornithologist John Gould in 1843.[1] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek khalkos meaning "bronze" and phaps meaning "pigeon".[2] The type species is the common emerald dove (Chalcophaps indica).[3]
The genus contains three species:[4]
| Image | Scientific name | Common name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Chalcophaps indica | Common emerald dove or grey-capped emerald dove[5] | India to south China, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesian and west Papuan islands |
 |
Chalcophaps longirostris | Pacific emerald dove or brown-capped emerald dove[5] | Australia, Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands, New Guinea, Santa Cruz and Banks Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia |
| Chalcophaps stephani | Stephan's emerald dove | Sulawesi, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. |
Members of this genus are small and short-tailed.[6]
