Taxonomy

The genus Eurillas was introduced in 1899 by the American ornithologist Harry C. Oberholser with the little greenbul as the type species.[1] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek eurus meaning "broad" or "wide" and illas meaning "thrush".[2]

This genus was formerly synonymized with the genus Andropadus. A molecular phylogenetic study of the bulbul family published in 2007 found that Andropadus was polyphyletic.[3] In the revision to the generic classification five species were moved from Andropadus to the resurrected genus Eurillas.[4]
