Species

It contains the following species:[1]

Seven of the above species, all with "jungle flycatcher" in their English names, were previously placed in the genus Rhinomyias but were moved to Cyornis based on the results of a 2010 molecular phylogenetic study.[4] There are also "jungle flycatchers" in the genus Vauriella.[1]

gollark: Presumably, these are some of the "being obese is fine" people.
gollark: I used to, but the bees making up my computational substrate were replaced with directly manipulated apions for higher clock rate.
gollark: It might need gmp or something.
gollark: Hey, what if I allow length-terminated strings to have length-terminated lengths represented as strings *to arbitrary depths*?
gollark: Poe's law applies to reality, evidently.
