Myiagra

Myiagra is a genus of passerine birds in the family Monarchidae, the monarch flycatchers, native to Australasia, sometimes referred to as the broad-billed flycatchers or simply broadbills.

==Taxonomy== The genus Myiagra was introduced in 1827 by the naturalists Nicholas Vigors and Thomas Horsfield. The name combines the Ancient Greek muia meaning "a fly" and agreō meaning "to seize". Myiagros was also the name of a Greek god. The type species was designated by George Robert Gray in 1840 as the leaden flycatcher.
