Taxonomy edit
The genus Hypocharmosyna was introduced in 1891 by the Italian zoologist Tommaso Salvadori with the red-flanked lorikeet as the type species.[1] The genus was formerly considered as a junior synonym of the genus Charmosyna but following the publication of a molecular phylogenetic study in 2020, Hypocharmosyna was resurrected for two species belonging to a clade that was deeply divergent from other members of Charmosyna.[2][3][4]
The genus contains two species:[4]
- Red-fronted lorikeet (Hypocharmosyna rubronotata)
- Red-flanked lorikeet (Hypocharmosyna placentis)
