Cossyphicula is a genus of passerine birds belonging to the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae that are found in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The genus Cossyphicula was introduced in 1934 by the German ornithologist Hermann Grote to accommodate the white-bellied robin-chat which is therefore considered as the type species. [1] [2] The name is a diminutive of the genus name Cossypha introduced for the robin-chats by Nicholas Aylward Vigors in 1825. [3]
The genus contains two species: [4]
- White-bellied robin-chat, Cossyphicula roberti
- Mountain robin-chat, Cossyphicula isabellae (formerly placed in Cossypha)
