Oriolus
They are not closely related to the New World orioles, which are icterids (family Icteridae) that belong to the superfamily Passeroidea.The genus Oriolus was erected in 1766 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in the 12th edition of his Systema Naturae.This is a junior synonym of Coracias oriolus Linnaeus, 1758, the Eurasian golden oriole.[3] In 1760, French ornithologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in his Ornithologie used Oriolus as a subdivision of the genus Turdus,[4] but the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature ruled in 1955 that "Oriolus Brisson, 1760" should be suppressed.[9] szalayi melanotis flavocinctus phaeochromus bouroensis forsteni chlorocephalus brachyrhynchus xanthornus nigripennis percivali larvatus monacha diffusus oriolus kundoo chinensis (part) melanisticus maculatus auratus hosii cruentus mellianus trailli xanthonotus steerei albiloris isabellae The genus contains 32 species:[7] Formerly, some authorities also considered these species (or subspecies) as species within the genus Oriolus: The orioles are a mainly tropical group, although one species, the Eurasian golden oriole, breeds in temperate regions.
