Rubigula is a genus of Asian passerine birds in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae.
Taxonomy
[edit | edit source]The genus Rubigula was introduced in 1845 by the English zoologist Edward Blyth.[1] The type species was designated as the ruby-throated bulbul by George Robert Gray in 1855.[2][3] The name combines the Medieval Latin rubinus meaning "ruby" with Latin gula meaning "throat".[4]
This genus was formerly synonymized with the genus Pycnonotus. A molecular phylogenetic study of the bulbul family published in 2017 found that Pycnonotus was polyphyletic.[5] In the revision to the generic classification five species were moved from Pycnonotus to Rubigula.[6]
