Taxonomy
[edit | edit source]The genus Actinodura was introduced in 1836 by the English ornithologist John Gould with Actinodura egertoni Gould, 1836, the rusty-fronted barwing, as the type species.[1][2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ακτινωδης/aktinōdēs meaning "like rays" with ουρα/oura meaning "tail".[3]
The genus contains nine species:[4]
