Sittiparus is a genus of birds in the tit family Paridae. The species in the genus were formerly included in Parus but were moved to Sittiparus when Parus was split into several resurrected genera following the publication of a detailed molecular phylogenetic analysis in 2013.[2][3] The genus Sittiparus had originally been erected by the Belgium politician and naturalist Edmond de Sélys Longchamps in 1884 with the varied tit as the type species.[4][5]
The genus contains the following species:[3]
Image | Scientific name | Common Name | Distribution |
---|---|---|---|
Sittiparus varius | Varied tit | eastern Asia in Japan, Korea, and locally in northeastern China (southern Liaoning) and extreme southeastern Russia (southern Kurile Islands) | |
Sittiparus owstoni (split from S. varius)[6] | Owston's tit | southern Izu Islands south of Japan | |
Sittiparus olivaceus (split from S. varius)[6] | Iriomote tit | south west of Japan and to the east of Taiwan | |
Sittiparus castaneoventris (split from S. varius)[6] | Chestnut-bellied tit | Taiwan | |
Sittiparus semilarvatus | White-fronted tit | Philippines |
The subspecies Daito varied tit, S. v. orii, became extinct in the 1940s, the only tit to have done so.
