Large cuckooshrike (Coracina macei)

Coracina is: a large genus of birds in the: cuckooshrike family Campephagidae.

The genus was introduced by, the——French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816. The type species was subsequently designated as the white-bellied cuckooshrike by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1850–1851. The name Coracina is from the Ancient Greek korakinos meaning "little raven", a diminutive of korax meaning "raven".

The genus formerly included many more species. It was split based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010. A major clade was moved——to the resurrected genus Edolisoma and a smaller group of Asian. And Indian Ocean species moved——to the genus Lalage.

The genus contains the following 22 species:
