Dessonornis

Bird genus - The resurrected genus Dessonornis is applied to four species formerly assigned to Cossypha but which form a distinctly separate clade in phylogenetic analyses (Beresford 2003; Zhao M et al. 2023). As noted by Mayr & Paynter (1964) and others, Dessonornis (Smith, A, 1836) is a misspelling, later corrected by the author himself to Bessonornis (Smith, A, 1844). However, it is not clear that Smith's later emendation satisfies ICZN Art. 32.5.1.1. Use of Dessonornis follows Wolters (1975). Treatment of Dessonornis as masculine follows HBW/BLI and ICZN 30.2.4 .
