Genus Rubigula – 7 species
Genus Pycnonotus was proven mon-monophyletic and the classification is sill under revision. The 5 first species, that have a yellow body with black head, are closely related to each other and clearly deserve a separate genus. The two last species are also distant to true Pycnonotus, and we provisionally follow John Boyd is placing them here. However, unlike John Boyd, we keep Spectacled Bulbul (P. erythropthalmos) in Pycnonotus. This might change soon, but inclusion here (and keeping Asian Red-eyed Bulbul in Pynconotus) as he does, is not consistent to our opinion.
All species are found in Southern and South-eastern Asia.
