Macholophus

Machlolophus is a genus of birds in the tit family. The species were formerly placed with many others in the genus Parus but were moved to Machlolophus based on a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2013 that showed that the members formed a distinct clade.[1]

The name Machlolophus was introduced by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1850.[2] The word is derived from the classical Greek makhlos meaning luxuriant and lophos meaning crest.[3]

The following species, all from Asia, have been placed in the genus:[4]

Machlolophus nuchalis White-naped tit southern India
Machlolophus holsti Yellow tit central Taiwan
Machlolophus xanthogenys Himalayan black-lored tit Himalayas in the Indian Subcontinent.
