Cyanopica is a small genus of magpies in the family Corvidae. They belong to a common lineage with the genus Perisoreus.[1]
The genus Cyanopica was introduced in 1850 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte.[2] The type species was designated by George Gray in 1855 as Corvus cyanus Pallas, 1766, the azure-winged magpie.[3][4] The generic name is derived from the Latin words cyanos, meaning "lapis lazuli", and pica, meaning "magpie".[5]
