Calyptomena is a genus containing three green birds in the broadbill family Calyptomenidae that are found in Southeast Asia.
Taxonomy
The genus name Calyptomena was introduced in 1822 by the American naturalist Thomas Horsfield. The name was also introduced in the same year by Stamford Raffles, but Horsfield's work was published in June 1822 and has priority over Raffles' article, which was published in November 1822. The genus name combines Ancient Greek kaluptos meaning "covered" with mēnē meaning "moon".
Species
The genus contains three species.
