''Coccyzus'' is a genus of cuckoos which occur in the Americas. ==Species and taxonomy== The species in taxonomic order are: * Black-billed cuckoo, ''Coccyzus erythropthalmus'' * Yellow-billed cuckoo, ''Coccyzus americanus'' * Pearly-breasted cuckoo, ''Coccyzus euleri'' * Mangrove cuckoo ''Coccyzus minor'' * Cocos cuckoo, ''Coccyzus ferrugineus'' * Dark-billed cuckoo, ''Coccyzus melacoryphus'' * Grey-capped cuckoo, ''Coccyzus lansbergi'' * Chestnut-bellied cuckoo, ''Coccyzus pluvialis'' * Bay-breasted cuckoo, ''Coccyzus rufigularis'' * Great lizard cuckoo, ''Coccyzus merlini'' * Puerto Rican lizard cuckoo, ''Coccyzus vieilloti'' * Jamaican lizard cuckoo, ''Coccyzus vetula'' * Hispaniolan lizard cuckoo, ''Coccyzus longirostris'' The genera ''Saurothera'' (the lizard cuckoos) and ''Hyetornis'' (chestnut-bellied and bay-breasted cuckoos) were lumped with ''Coccyzus'' by the American Ornithologists' Union in 2006. On the other hand, the ash-colored cuckoo and dwarf cuckoo – at one time separated in ''Micrococcyx'' – have been found to be closest relatives of the little cuckoo, formerly in ''Piaya''. These three are now again placed in the reinstated genus of the latter, ''Coccycua''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coccyzus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
