Cyanistes
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Automated taxobox".
Cyanistes is a genus of birds in the tit family Paridae. The genus was at one time considered as a subgenus of Parus. In 2005 an article describing a molecular phylogenetic study that had examined mitochondrial DNA sequences from members of the tit family, proposed that a number of subgenera including Cyanistes be elevated to genus status.[1] This proposal was accepted by the International Ornithologists' Union[2] and the British Ornithologists' Union.[3]
Species
The genus contains three species:[2]
| Image | Scientific name | Common name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| File:Eurasian blue tit Lancashire.jpg | Cyanistes caeruleus | Eurasian blue tit | Europe |
| File:Cyanistes teneriffae hedwigae -Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain-8.jpg | Cyanistes teneriffae | African blue tit | northern Africa and the Canary Islands. |
| File:Белая лазоревка (cropped).jpg | Cyanistes cyanus | Azure tit | Russia and Central Asia and northwest China, Manchuria and Pakistan. |
The name Cyanistes was introduced for a subgenus by the German naturalist Jakob Kaup in 1829.[4] The word comes from the classical Greek kuanos meaning dark-blue.[5] The type species was designated as the Eurasian blue tit by George Gray in 1842.[6][7]
