Genus of birds
Xanthotis is a genus of birds in the honeyeater family Meliphagidae.
The genus contains three species:[2]
- Spotted honeyeater (Xanthotis polygrammus)
- Macleay's honeyeater (Xanthotis macleayanus)
- Tawny-breasted honeyeater (Xanthotis flaviventer)
The Kadavu honeyeater (Meliphacator provocator) was formerly included in this genus. It was moved to its own genus Meliphacator based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2019.[2][3]
