Taxonomy
The genus Baeopogon was introduced in 1860 by the German ornithologist Ferdinand Heine with the honeyguide greenbul as the type species.[1] The name combines the Ancient Greek baios (βαιός) meaning "small" or "little" with pōgōn meaning "beard".[2]
The genus contains two species:[3]
- Honeyguide greenbul (Baeopogon indicator)
- Sjöstedt's greenbul (Baeopogon clamans)
