  • Ceblepyris is a genus of African passerine birds in the cuckooshrike family Campephagidae.
    These species were formerly placed in the genus Coracina. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that Coracina, as then defined, was non-monophyletic. In the resulting reorganization to create monophyletic genera these species were moved to the resurrected genus Ceblepyris.
    The genus contains the following five species:

    Madagascar cuckooshrike (Ceblepyris cinereus)
    Comoro cuckooshrike (Ceblepyris cucullatus)
    Grauer's cuckooshrike (Ceblepyris graueri)
    White-breasted cuckooshrike (Ceblepyris pectoralis)
    Grey cuckooshrike (Ceblepyris caesius)
