Edolisoma is a genus of birds in the cuckooshrike family Campephagidae that are native to the Central Indo-Pacific region, Australia and New Guinea.
These species were previously placed in the genus Coracina. They were moved to the resurrected genus Edolisoma based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010. [3] [4]
The genus Edolisoma was introduced in 1853 by the French zoologist Jacques Pucheran with the type species as Campephaga marescotii Gray, 1846. [5] This is now considered to be a junior synonym of Lanius melas Lesson, 1828, the black cicadabird. [6] [7] The name of the genus is derived from the genus Edolius that had been introduced by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1816. [8]
The genus contains the following 22 species: [4]
