The raptor subfamily Perninae includes a number of medium-sized broad-winged species. These are birds of warmer climates, although the ''Pernis'' species (European honey buzzard and crested honey buzzard) have a more extensive range. Several of the species in this group eat mainly insects, and the honey-buzzards are specialist feeders on wasp larvae. Reptiles are also taken by several birds in this group. Several authorities consider Gypaetinae to be within or even synonymous with Perninae.〔(Griffiths et al. 2007, Lerner and Mindell 2005)〕 ==Taxonomy== * Subfamily Perninae * * Genus ''Aviceda'' * * * African cuckoo-hawk, ''Aviceda cuculoides'' * * * Madagascar cuckoo-hawk, ''Aviceda madagascariensis'' * * * Jerdon's baza, ''Aviceda jerdoni'' * * * Pacific baza, ''Aviceda subcristata'' * * * Black baza, ''Aviceda leuphotes'' * * Genus ''Henicopernis'' * * * Long-tailed honey buzzard, ''Henicopernis longicauda'' * * * Black honey buzzard, ''Henicopernis infuscatus'' * * Genus ''Pernis'' * * * European honey buzzard, ''Pernis apivorus'' * * * Crested honey buzzard, ''Pernis ptilorhynchus'' * * * Barred honey buzzard, ''Pernis celebensis'' * * Genus ''Leptodon'' * * * Grey-headed kite, ''Leptodon cayanensis'' * * * White-collared kite, ''Leptodon forbesi'' * * Genus ''Chondrohierax'' * * * Hook-billed kite, ''Chondrohierax uncinatus'' * * * * Cuban kite, ''Chondrohierax wilsonii'' (disputed) 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「Perninae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
