The grey-bellied bulbul (Ixodia cyaniventris) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family.[1][2] It is found on the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Taxonomy and systematics[edit]
This species was previously placed in the large bulbul genus Pycnonotus, which was found to be polyphyletic in molecular phylogenetic studies, resulting in three species, including the grey-bellied bulbul, being moved to Ixodia.[2][3] Some authorities use Ixidia for the genus name because Ixodia was thought to be preoccupied.[1][2]
Subspecies[edit]
Two subspecies are recognized:[4]
- I. c. cyaniventris - Blyth, 1842: Found on the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra
- I. c. paroticalis - (Sharpe, 1878): Originally described as a separate species. Found on Borneo
