The scaly-breasted bulbul (Ixodia squamata) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family.[1][2] It is found from the Malay Peninsula to Borneo. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Taxonomy and systematics
The scaly-breasted bulbul was originally described in the genus Ixos and later moved to Pycnonotus.[3] Pycnonotus was found to be polyphyletic in recent molecular phylogenetic studies and three bulbul species, including the scaly-breasted bulbul, moved to Ixodia.[2][4] Some authorities use Ixidia for the genus name because Ixodia was thought to be preoccupied.[1][2]
Subspecies
Three subspecies are recognized:[2]
- I. s. webberi - (Hume, 1879): originally described as a separate species. Found on the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra
- I. s. squamatus - (Temminck, 1828): found on Java
- I. s. borneensis - Chasen, 1941: found on Borneo
