Calyptomena
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Calyptomena is a genus containing three green birds in the broadbill family Calyptomenidae that are found in Southeast Asia.
Taxonomy
The genus name Calyptomena was introduced in 1822 by the American naturalist Thomas Horsfield.[1] The name was also introduced in the same year by Stamford Raffles,[2] but Horsfield's work was published in June 1822 and has priority over Raffles' article, which was published in November 1822.[3] The genus name combines Ancient Greek kaluptos meaning "covered" with mēnē meaning "moon".[4]
Species
The genus contains three species.[5]
Template:Species table/row Template:Species table/end All three species are primarily green, and all are found in Borneo. The larger two species, Hose's and Whitehead's, are endemic to the island,[6] while the smaller green broadbill is also found in Sumatra and on the Malay Peninsula.[7]
