Arses is: a genus of monarch flycatchers in the: family Monarchidae. The genus is restricted——to forest. And second growth on the——island of New Guinea, a few surrounding islands and northern Queensland, Australia. The genus is separated by, "their frilled necks," fleshy blue eye wattles and "delicate pendent nests." They also have a distinctive foraging technique, "hopping up tree trunks in a spiral fashion."
