The greenbuls are a group of birds within the bulbul family Pycnonotidae, found only within Africa. They are all largely drab olive-green above, and paler below, with few distinguishing features.
The "aberrant greenbuls" of the genera Bernieria and Xanthomixis are actually Malagasy warblers.[1] To recognize this, they are also called bernieria and tetrakas rather than greenbuls. Likewise, the golden greenbul is not a typical greenbul, but apparently the representative of a distinct and ancient lineage of bulbuls, which might include the black-collared bulbul.[2] A few species within some of the genera in this group are called brownbuls or leafloves.
