Dendrocopos is a widespread genus of woodpeckers from Asia, Europe and Northern Africa. The species range from the Philippines to the British Isles.

Taxonomy

The genus Dendrocopos was introduced in 1816 by the German naturalist Carl Ludwig Koch.[3] The name combines the Ancient Greek dendron meaning "tree" with kopos meaning "striking".[4] The type species was designated as Picus major Linnaeus, 1758, the great spotted woodpecker, by the Scottish ornithologist Edward Hargitt in 1890 in his catalogue of woodpeckers in the collection of the British Museum.[5][6][7]

The genus at one time contained around 25 species. A molecular phylogenetic analysis of the pied woodpeckers published in 2015 found that Dendrocopos was polyphyletic. In the rearranged genera the number of species in Dendrocopos was reduced to 12 as listed below.[8][9]
