==Taxonomy==
The only member of the genus ''Scythrops'', the channel-billed cuckoo was first described by ornithologist John Latham in 1790.〔 Its generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek ''skuthro-''/σκυθρο- 'angry' or 'sullen', and ''ops''/ωψ 'face', 'eye' or 'countenance'. The specific epithet ''novaehollandiae'' means of New Holland, hence Australian.
There are three subspecies: the nominate ''Scythrops novaehollandiae novaehollandiae'' of Australia, New Guinea and the Moluccas, ''Scythrops novaehollandiae fordi'' in Sulawesi, and ''Scythrops novaehollandiae schoddei'' in the Bismarck Archipelago.〔Mason I.J., Forrester R.I. (1996) "Geographical differentiation in the Channel-billed Cuckoo ''Scythrops novaehollandiae'' Latham, with description of two new subspecies from Sulawesi and the Bismarck Archipelago" ''Emu'' 96(4): 217-233〕
