Taxonomy
[edit | edit source]The genus Atimastillas was introduced in 1905 by the American ornithologist Harry C. Oberholser with Heamatornis flavicollis Swainson, the yellow-gorgeted greenbul, as the type species.[1][2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ατιμαστος/atimastos meaning "disdained" with ιλλας/illas, ιλλαδοςillados meaning "thrush".[3]

[edit | edit source]The genus contains two species:[4]
- Yellow-gorgeted greenbul, Atimastillas flavicollis
- Pale-throated greenbul, Atimastillas flavigula (split from A. flavicollis)
