Bird genera

Orochelidon is a genus of birds in the swallow family Hirundinidae. These species are resident in the Andes Mountains of South America.

Montecincla is a genus of passerine birds in the family Leiothrichidae. All four species in this genus are endemic to “sky islands” in the Western Ghats mountain range of southwestern India, generally above 1,200m elevation.

Cyanoderma is a genus of passerine birds in the Old World babbler family Timaliidae. Many of these species were formerly placed in the genus Stachyris

Gelochelidon is a genus of terns. It was considered a monotypic genus until the Australian tern was split from the gull-billed tern.

Pachyornis (from Ancient Greek παχύς (pakhús), meaning "thick", and ὄρνις (órnis), meaning "bird") is an extinct genus of ratites from New Zealand which belongs to the moa family. Like all ratites, Pachyornis is a flightless bird with a sternum that lacks a keel. They also have a distinctive palate. The genus currently contains three recognised species: the type species, Pachyornis geranoides, P. elephantopus and P. australis. Two distinct genetic lineages, one each recovered from the North and South Island, could possibly expand this number to five in the future.

Limnoctites is the genus of reedhaunters, birds in the family Furnariidae. It contains the following species:

Tropicoperdix is a genus of three species of birds in the pheasant family, Phasianidae. Although formerly classified in the now-defunct subfamily Perdicinae, phylogenetic evidence supports them being a sister group to the tribe Polyplectronini. They are referred to as East Asian forest partridges.

Staphida is a genus of passerine birds in the white-eye family Zosteropidae.

Edolisoma is a genus of birds in the cuckooshrike family Campephagidae that are native to the Central Indo-Pacific region, Australia and New Guinea.

Aethomyias is a genus of passerine birds in the family Acanthizidae that are endemic to New Guinea.

Sholicola is a genus of bird in the family Muscicapidae that was erected in 2017. They are commonly referred to as sholakilis. The two species placed in this genus endemic to the montane grassland and cloud forest complex known as sholas in southern India: Nilgiri blue robin (Sholicola major) White-bellied blue robin (Sholicola albiventris) A third species Sholicola ashambuensis described by the original authors is close to Sholicola albiventris and may possibly be treated as a subspecies of the latter.

Driophlox is a genus of passerine birds in the family Cardinalidae. The four species placed in this genus were formerly placed with the red-crowned ant tanager in the genus Habia.

Protopteryx is an extinct bird and possibly the basalmost enantiornithean, from the Cretaceous period. The type species is P. fengningensis. It was first discovered in the Sichakou Member of the Yixian Formation or Huajiying Formation of Hebei Province, northern China, dating from 131 Ma ago. Protopteryx has been found in the Daibeigou formation, as well. The name Protopteryx means "primitive feather": "proto-" meaning "the first of" and "-pteryx" meaning "feather" or "wing." The name comes from the fact that Protopteryx feathers are more primitive than those of modern birds, such as the two e

Akletos is a genus of passerine birds in the family Thamnophilidae.

Chalcites is a genus of Australasian cuckoos in the family Cuculidae. They were formerly placed in the genus Chrysococcyx.

Thamnistes is a genus of antbirds in the family Thamnophilidae. It is primarily found in lowland and foothill forests from Central America to the northern and eastern Andes. Members of this genus show typical antbird foraging behavior— following army ants. Thamnistes is also known for their distinctive vocalisations. That stable and innate vocalisation plays a key role in its species identification. Recent phylogenetic researches have revealed complex evolutionary relationships and raised questions about species classification. Current research and field observations continue to refine the und

Taenioptynx is a genus of typical owls, or true owls, in the family Strigidae, that inhabits Asia.

Tachyspiza is a genus containing goshawks and sparrowhawks in the family Accipitridae. The species were formerly placed in the genus Accipiter.

Uromyias is a genus of small Andean, tyrant flycatchers known as tit-tyrants. They were formerly recognized based on syrinxial and plumage characters, including a flatter crest and a longer tail, but was included within Anairetes due to genetic analysis. Recent analyses suggested splitting into Uromyias again.

Ramosomyia is a genus in family Trochilidae, the hummingbirds, that was created in 2021 to replace Leucolia.

Pomatostomus is a genus of small to medium-sized birds endemic to Australia-New Guinea. All four species are distributed in Australia, and only the grey-crowned babbler could also be found in south New Guinea.

Hafferia is a genus of insectivorous passerine birds in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae, containing three species: the blue-lored antbird (H. immaculata), the sooty antbird (H. fortis), and Zeledon's antbird (H. zeledoni).

Parula was formerly a small genus of New World warblers which breed in North and South America.

Schoeniparus is a genus of passerine birds in the family Pellorneidae.

Asemospiza is a genus of South American birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.

Laticilla is a genus of small passerine birds in the family Pellorneidae. Members of the genus are found in Pakistan, Nepal, India and Bangladesh.

The tooth-billed pigeons are the only genus (Didunculus) of the subfamily Didunculinae, in the pigeon and dove family, (Columbidae). It has no close living relatives, but it has been shown to be genetically close to the dodo, and the genus name Didunculus means "little dodo". The jaw and tongue structure, and the superficially parrotlike bill have suggested a relationship to the parrots, but these features have arisen from its specialised diet rather than any real relationship.

Poecilostreptus is a genus of birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.

Synoicus is a genus of 4 species of Old World quail.

Kleinothraupis is a genus of warbler-like birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. They are found in highland forest in South America.

Ixothraupis is a genus of Neotropical birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.

Himatione is a genus of Hawaiian honeycreepers in the subfamily Carduelinae of the family Fringillidae.

Jixiangornis is a genus of basal avialan dinosaurs from the Early Cretaceous. Like later avialans, it had no teeth, but it also had a long tail, unlike modern birds. Since teeth were still present in some more derived short-tailed avialans, Jixiangornis seems to have evolved its toothlessness independently of modern birds. The long forelimb (131% of hindlimb length) indicates at least some aerial ability. Jixiangornis is currently known only from a single specimen, a complete but juvenile skeleton. The fossil was found in the Yixian Formation near Beipiao City, western Liaoning, China.

Periporphyrus is a genus of grosbeaks in the cardinal family Cardinalidae.

Tichodroma is the only known genus in the family Tichodromidae. The wallcreeper (Tichodroma muraria) is the only extant species, but the extinct Tichodroma capeki is known from the Late Miocene of Polgardi, Hungary. Initially, Linnaeus placed the wallcreeper in the family Certhiidae, along with the treecreepers, while other authorities have placed it the nuthatch family Sittidae, as its own subfamily. A 2016 phylogenetic study of members in the superfamily Certhioidea suggests it is a sister of the Sittidae.

Aerospiza is a genus of goshawk and sparrowhawk in the family Accipitridae that are found in Africa. The two species in the genus were formerly placed in the genus Accipiter.

Loxioides is a genus of Hawaiian honeycreeper, in the subfamily Carduelinae.

Cnemathraupis is a small genus of mountain tanagers found in forest and woodland in the Andes of South America. The two species are uncommon and relatively large tanagers with a contrasting blue, yellow and black plumage (golden-backed mountain tanager also has some brown; black-chested mountain tanager some green).

Gymnogyps is a genus of New World vultures in the family Cathartidae. There are five known species in the genus, with only one being extant, the California condor. == Fossil species == Gymnogyps amplus was first described by L. H. Miller in 1911 from a broken tarsometatarsus. The species is the only condor species found in the La Brea Tar Pits' Pit 10, which fossils date to "a Holocene radiocarbon age of 9,000 years." The smaller, modern California condor may have evolved from G. amplus.

Longipteryx is a genus of prehistoric bird which lived during the Early Cretaceous (Aptian stage, 120.3 million years ago). It contains a single species, Longipteryx chaoyangensis. Its remains have been recovered from the Jiufotang Formation at Chaoyang in Liaoning Province, China. Apart from the holotype IVPP V 12325 - a fine and nearly complete skeleton — another entire skeleton (IPPV V 12552), some isolated bones (a humerus and furcula, specimens IPPV V 12553, and an ulna, IPPV V 12554) and many other specimens are known to date.

Turdinus is a genus of birds in the family Pellorneidae.

Brodavis is a genus of freshwater hesperornithiform birds known from the Late Cretaceous (possibly Campanian and Maastrichtian stage) of North America and Asia. It was first described and named by Larry D. Martin, Evgeny N. Kurochkin and Tim T. Tokaryk in 2012 and assigned to a new monogeneric family, Brodavidae. Four species were described and assigned to Brodavis.
