Nesoptilotis is a genus of honeyeaters endemic to Australia and Tasmania. The genus consists of two former members of Lichenostomus, and was created after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2011 showed that the original genus was polyphyletic.[2]
The genus contains two species:[3]
| Image | Scientific name | Common Name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
N. flavicollis | Yellow-throated honeyeater | Tasmania |
 |
N. leucotis | White-eared honeyeater | southwest, south and east Australia |
The name Nesoptilotis was first proposed by the Australian ornithologist Gregory Mathews in 1913.[4][5] The word is derived from the Greek nēsos island (i.e. Tasmania), ptilon feather and -ōtis eared.[6]
