Alcedo is a genus of birds in the kingfisher subfamily Alcedininae. The genus was introduced by Carl Linnaeus in 1758 in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae.[2] The type species is the common kingfisher (Alcedo ispida, now Alcedo atthis ispida).[3] Alcedo is the Latin for "kingfisher".[4]

Species

The genus contains the following eight species:[5]

Image Scientific name Common Name Distribution
Alcedo coerulescens Cerulean kingfisher Indonesia.
Alcedo euryzona Javan blue-banded kingfisher Java
Alcedo peninsulae Malayan blue-banded kingfisher Myanmar, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, southwestern Thailand and Borneo
Alcedo quadribrachys Shining-blue kingfisher Senegal and Gambia to west central Nigeria to Kenya, northwest Zambia and north Angola
Alcedo meninting Blue-eared kingfisher Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia
Alcedo atthis Common kingfisher across Eurasia and North Africa
Alcedo semitorquata Half-collared kingfisher southern and eastern Africa.
Alcedo hercules Blyth's kingfisher China, Vietnam, Myanmar, Bhutan in northeastern India, and a vagrant in Bangladesh and eastern Nepal

Unlike many kingfishers, all members of Alcedo are specialist fish-eaters. They all have some blue feathers on their upper-parts and most species have a black bill.[6] Except for the cerulean kingfisher they all have some rufous in their plumage. The female generally has more red on the lower mandible than the male.[7] The smallest species is the cerulean kingfisher which is around 13 cm (5.1 in) in length;[8] much the largest is Blyth's kingfisher with a length of 22 cm (8.7 in).[9]
