List of New World barbets

New World barbets are birds in the family Capitonidae in the order Piciformes.[1] The New World barbets are plump birds, with short necks and large heads. Most species are brightly coloured, with bold patterns of mainly green, red, yellow, white, or black. Their rictal bristles (stiff hair-like feathers at the base of the beak) are shorter and less dense than those of the Asian and African barbets. They are native to the Neotropics of South and Central America, where they inhabit a variety of forests.[2]

Female red-headed barbet

There are currently 15 extant species of New World barbets recognised by the International Ornithologists' Union.[1]

IUCN Red List categories
Conservation status
 EX Extinct (0 species)
 EW Extinct in the wild (0 species)

 NT Near threatened (2 species)
 LC Least concern (8 species)

Conservation status codes listed follow the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Range maps are provided wherever possible; if a range map is not available, a description of the barbet's range is provided. Ranges are based on the IOC World Bird List for that species unless otherwise noted. Population estimates are of the number of mature individuals and are taken from the IUCN Red List.

This list follows the taxonomic treatment (designation and order of species) and nomenclature (scientific and common names) of version 13.2 of the IOC World Bird List.[1] Where the taxonomy proposed by the IOC World Bird List conflicts with the taxonomy followed by the IUCN[a] or the 2023 edition of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World,[4] the disagreement is noted next to the species's common name (for nomenclatural disagreements) or scientific name (for taxonomic disagreements).

Classification edit

The International Ornithologists' Union (IOU) recognises 15 species of New World barbets in two genera.[1] This list does not include hybrid species, extinct prehistoric species, or putative species not yet accepted by the IOU.

Notes edit

  1. ^ The IUCN follows the taxonomy proposed by the HBW and BirdLife Taxonomic Checklist.[3]
  2. ^ The lemon-throated barbet is split into two species by the IUCN: lemon-throated barbet (E. richardsoni) and flame-throated barbet (E. aurantiicollis).[3]
  3. ^ The lemon-throated barbet is split into two species by the IUCN: lemon-throated barbet (E. richardsoni) and flame-throated barbet (E. aurantiicollis). Both of the species are assessed as being of least concern.[17][18]
  4. ^ The versicolored barbet is split into three species by the IUCN: blue-moustached barbet (E. versicolor), blue-cowled barbet (E. steerii) and blue-chinned barbet (E. glaucogularis).[3]
  5. ^ The versicolored barbet is split into three species by the IUCN: blue-moustached barbet (E. versicolor), blue-cowled barbet (E. steerii) and blue-chinned barbet (E. glaucogularis).
