peltops
''Peltops'' is a genus of bird in the family Artamidae. The genus contains two species endemic to the island of New Guinea. The genus was once placed with the monarch flycatchers, but molecular and morphometric studies place it closer to the butcherbirds, possibly as a sister taxon to this group. The genus is named for the Greek ''pelte'' meaning small shield and ''ops'' meaning face. The species have also had the common name of shieldbill.
==Distribution and habitat==
Both species occupy rainforest on New Guinea, but are separated by altitude. The lowland peltops ranges across the island from sea level to , whereas the mountain peltops ranges from . Within the forest they are particularly common at forest openings and edges, tree falls, river edges, and other disturbed areas including human modified openings like roads and gardens. In undisturbed virgin forest they may use massive trees emerging from and above the canopy.
