Biology:Blythipicus
Blythipicus is a genus of birds in the woodpecker family Picidae that are found in Southeast Asia.
Taxonomy
The genus was introduced by the French ornithologist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854.[1] The name was chosen to honour the English zoologist Edward Blyth whose name is combined with the Latin picus meaning "woodpecker".[2] The type species was subsequently designated as the maroon woodpecker (Blythipicus rubiginosus) by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1855.[3][4] The genus is in the tribe Campephilini, one of five tribes that make up the woodpecker subfamily Picinae. The genus Blythipicus is sister to a clade containing the genera Reinwardtipicus and Chrysocolaptes.[5]
