Chlorocichla is a genus of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. They are mainly present throughout the African tropical rainforest, excepted the yellow-bellied greenbul, native to the miombo woodlands.
The genus Chlorocichla was introduced in 1882 by the English ornithologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe. [1] Sharpe did not specify a type species but this was designated as the yellow-bellied greenbul by Anton Reichenow in 1904–1905. [2] [3] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek khlōros meaning "pale green" or "yellow" with kikhlē meaning "thrush". [4]
The genus contains five species: [5]
Formerly, some authorities also considered the following species (or subspecies) as species within the genus Chlorocichla:
