Biology:Remiz
Remiz is a genus of birds in the family Remizidae, commonly known as the Eurasian pendulines (in contrast to the African pendulines). Like other penduline tits, they are named for their elegant, pendulous nests.
Taxonomy
The genus Remiz was introduced in 1819 by the Polish zoologist Feliks Paweł Jarocki to accommodate a single species, the Eurasian penduline tit.[1][2] The name Remiz is the Polish word for the Eurasian penduline tit.[3]
The genus contains the following four species:[4]
| Image | Common name | Scientific name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| 120px | Eurasian penduline tit | Remiz pendulinus | Western Europe to Morocco |
| Black-headed penduline tit | Remiz macronyx | Central Asia. | |
| 120px | Chinese penduline tit | Remiz consobrinus | Manchuria ; winters sparsely across East Asia |
| 120px | White-crowned penduline tit | Remiz coronatus | Afghanistan, China, India, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Pakistan, Russia, and Tajikistan. |
The cladogram below is based on a phylogenetic study by Hui Wang and collaborators that was published in 2025.[5]
