Coracina is a large genus of birds in the cuckooshrike family Campephagidae.
The genus was introduced by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816.[1] The type species was subsequently designated as the white-bellied cuckooshrike by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1850–1851.[2][3] The name Coracina is from the Ancient Greek korakinos meaning "little raven", a diminutive of korax meaning "raven".[4]
The genus formerly included many more species. It was split based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010. A major clade was moved to the resurrected genus Edolisoma and a smaller group of Asian and Indian Ocean species moved to the genus Lalage.[5][6]
The genus contains the following 22 species:[6]
- Stout-billed cuckooshrike (Coracina caeruleogrisea)
- Hooded cuckooshrike (Coracina longicauda)
- Cerulean cuckooshrike (Coracina temminckii)
- Pied cuckooshrike (Coracina bicolor)
- Ground cuckooshrike (Coracina maxima)
- Barred cuckooshrike (Coracina lineata)
- Black-faced cuckooshrike (Coracina novaehollandiae)
- Boyer's cuckooshrike (Coracina boyeri)
- Buru cuckooshrike (Coracina fortis)
- Wallacean cuckooshrike (Coracina personata)
- North Melanesian cuckooshrike (Coracina welchmani)
- South Melanesian cuckooshrike (Coracina caledonica)
- Bar-bellied cuckooshrike (Coracina striata)
- Javan cuckooshrike (Coracina javensis)
- Large cuckooshrike (Coracina macei)
- Andaman cuckooshrike (Coracina dobsoni)
- Slaty cuckooshrike (Coracina schistacea)
- White-rumped cuckooshrike (Coracina leucopygia)
- Sunda cuckooshrike (Coracina larvata)
- White-bellied cuckooshrike (Coracina papuensis)
- Manus cuckooshrike (Coracina ingens)
