Pycnonotus is a paraphyletic genus of songbird in the bulbul family (Pycnonotidae).
Taxonomy and systematics
The genus Pycnonotus was introduced by the German zoologist Friedrich Boie in 1826 with the Cape bulbul as the type species.[1] The name of the genus combines the Ancient Greek words puknos "thick" or "compact" and -nōtos "-backed".[2]
The genus contains the following 49 species:[3]
- Straw-headed bulbul (Pycnonotus zeylanicus)

- Grey-headed bulbul (Pycnonotus priocephalus)
- Black-headed bulbul (Pycnonotus atriceps)
- Andaman bulbul (Pycnonotus fuscoflavescens)
- Black-capped bulbul (Pycnonotus melanicterus)
- Black-crested bulbul (Pycnonotus flaviventris)

- Flame-throated bulbul (Pycnonotus gularis)
- Bornean bulbul (Pycnonotus montis)
- Scaly-breasted bulbul (Pycnonotus squamatus)
- Grey-bellied bulbul (Pycnonotus cyaniventris)
- Red-whiskered bulbul (Pycnonotus jocosus)
- Brown-breasted bulbul (Pycnonotus xanthorrhous)
- Light-vented bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis)
- Styan's bulbul (Pycnonotus taivanus)

- White-eared bulbul (Pycnonotus leucotis)
- Red-vented bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer)
- Sooty-headed bulbul (Pycnonotus aurigaster)
- White-spectacled bulbul (Pycnonotus xanthopygos)
- African red-eyed bulbul (Pycnonotus nigricans)
- Cape bulbul (Pycnonotus capensis)
- Common bulbul (Pycnonotus barbatus)

Former species
Formerly, some authorities also considered the following species (or subspecies) as species within the genus Pycnonotus:
- Shelley's greenbul (as Pycnonotus masukuensis)[4]
- Kakamega greenbul (nominate) (as Pycnonotus kakamegae)[5]
- Cameroon greenbul (as Pycnonotus montanus)[6]
- Western greenbul (as Pycnonotus tephrolaemus)[7]
- Mountain greenbul (as Pycnonotus nigriceps)[8]
- Yellow-throated greenbul (as Pycnonotus chlorigula)[9]
- Stripe-cheeked greenbul (as Pycnonotus milanjensis)[10]
- Olive-headed greenbul (as Pycnonotus olivaceiceps)[11]
- Slender-billed greenbul (as Pycnonotus gracilirostri or Pycnonotus gracilirostris)[12]
- Little greenbul (as Pycnonotus virens)[13]
- Little grey greenbul (as Pycnonotus gracilis)[14]
- Ansorge's greenbul (as Pycnonotus ansorgei)[15]
- Plain greenbul (as Pycnonotus curvirostris)[16]
- Yellow-whiskered greenbul (as Pycnonotus latirostris)[17]
- Sombre greenbul (as Pycnonotus importunus)[18]
- Yellow-throated leaflove (as Haematornis flavicollis or Pycnonotus flavicollis)[19][20]
- Hairy-backed bulbul (as Brachypodius criniger)[21]
- Bare-faced bulbul (as Pycnonotus hualon)[22]
In 2010, eighteen species of greenbuls were reclassified, from either the genus Andropadus or — depending on the authority — from the genus Pycnonotus, as follows:
- twelve to the genus Arizelocichla;
- five to the genus Eurillas;
- one to the genus Stelgidillas.[23]
