Carterornis is a genus of birds in the family Monarchidae that are found in Australia and Melanesia.
Taxonomy
When the genus Monarcha was split based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2005, 3 species were moved to the resurrected genus Carterornis. The genus had originally been introduced by the Australian born ornithologist Gregory Mathews in 1912 with the white-eared monarch (Carterornis leucotis) as the type species.[2][3][4]
Species
The genus contains the following species:[4]
