The white-throated greenbul (Phyllastrephus albigularis) or white-throated bulbul, is a species of passerine bird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is widespread across the African tropical rainforest. It was formerly considered to be conspecific with the Angola greenbul.
Taxonomy
[edit | edit source]The white-throated greenbul was formally described and illustrated in 1882 by the English ornithologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe based on a specimen collected in the Fantee region of central Ghana. He coined the binomial name Xenocichla albigularis.[2][3] It is now one of 21 species placed in the genus Phyllastrephus that was introduced in 1832 by the English naturalist William Swainson.[4] The genus name combines Ancient Greek φυλλον/phullon meaning "leaf" with στρεφω/strephō meaning "to toss" or "to turn".[5] The specific epithet albigularis combines Latin albus meaning "white" with Modern Latin gularis meaning "throated".[6] The Angola greenbul was formally considered to be a subspecies. The white-throated greenbul is now monophyletic: no subspecies are recognised.[4]
