Myzomela

Myzomela is a genus of bird in the honeyeater family Meliphagidae. It is the largest genus of honeyeaters, with 40 species, and the most geographically widespread. It ranges from Indonesia to Australia and into the islands of the Pacific Ocean as far as Micronesia and Samoa. Several species are named after the islands they were discovered or live on, and continued investigation is (as of March 2025) still increasing the number of species, both through discovery of new species (Babar myzomela M. babarensis) and conclusion that former subspecies are actually distinct species (Tanimbar myzomela M. annabellae).
