Urocissa

January 01, 1970

Urocissa is a genus of birds in the Corvidae, a family that contains the crows, jays, and magpies.

The genus was established by German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1850.[1][a] The type species was subsequently designated as the red-billed blue magpie (Urocissa erythroryncha).[4] The name Urocissa combines the Ancient Greek oura meaning "tail" and kissa meaning "magpie" .[5]

The genus contains five species:[6]

Image Scientific name Common name Distribution
U. caerulea Taiwan blue magpie Taiwan
U. erythroryncha Red-billed blue magpie Western Himalayas eastwards into Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam
U. flavirostris Yellow-billed blue magpie Indian subcontinent including the lower Himalayas, with a disjunct population in Vietnam
U. ornata Sri Lanka blue magpie Sri Lanka
U. whiteheadi White-winged magpie Southern China, northern Vietnam, and north and central Laos
