Chrysococcyx is a genus of cuckoos in the family Cuculidae.
Taxonomy
The genus Chrysococcyx was erected by the German zoologist Friedrich Boie in 1826 with the African emerald cuckoo (Chrysococcyx cupreus) as the type species.[1][2] The name Chrysococcyx comes from the Ancient Greek words χρυσος (khrusos), meaning "gold", and κοκκυξ (kokkux), meaning "cuckoo".[3]
A group of Australo-Papuan taxa that were formerly included in this genus are now placed in the genus Chalcites.[4]
The genus contains the following species:[5]
- Diederik cuckoo (Chrysococcyx caprius)
- African emerald cuckoo (Chrysococcyx cupreus)
- Yellow-throated cuckoo (Chrysococcyx flavigularis)
- Klaas's cuckoo (Chrysococcyx klaas)
- Asian emerald cuckoo (Chrysococcyx maculatus)
- Violet cuckoo (Chrysococcyx xanthorhynchus)
