Anthracoceros is a genus of birds in the family Bucerotidae.
The genus was introduced by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in 1849.[2] The type species was subsequently designated as the Malabar pied hornbill (Anthracoceros coronatus).[3][4] The name is a combination of the Ancient Greek words ανθραξ anthrax, ανθρακος anthrakos meaning "coal black" and κερας keras, κερως kerōs meaning "horn".[5] A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that Anthracoceros was sister to the genus Ocyceros which contains the three grey hornbill species.[6]
The genus contains five species:[7]
