Eurillas is a genus of greenbuls, passerine birds in the bulbul family Pycnonotidae.
Taxonomy
The genus Eurillas was introduced in 1899. This was done by the American ornithologist Harry C. Oberholser. The little greenbul was the type species.[1] The genus name combines two Ancient Greek words. These words are eurus meaning "broad" or "wide" and illas meaning "thrush".[2]
This genus was used to be a different name for the genus Andropadus. A phylogenetic study based in RNA and DNA of the bulbul family was published in 2007. This study found that Andropadus was polyphyletic.[3] There was a revision to the generic classification. Five species were moved from Andropadus to the resurrected genus Eurillas.[4]
Species
The genus contains five species:[4]
