Taxonomy

These species were previously placed in the genus Coracina. They were moved to the resurrected genus Edolisoma based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010.

The genus Edolisoma was introduced in 1853 by the French zoologist Jacques Pucheran with the type species as Campephaga marescotii Gray, 1846. This is now considered to be a junior synonym of Lanius melas Lesson, 1828, the black cicadabird. The name of the genus is derived from the genus Edolius that had been introduced by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1816.
