Taxonomy
editThe genus Lophospiza was introduced in 1844 by the German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup with Falco trivirgatus Temminck as the type species.[1] The name combines the Ancient Greek λοφος (lophos) meaning "crest" and σπιζιας (spizias) meaning "hawk".[2]
The genus contains two species:[3]
- Crested goshawk, Lophospiza trivirgata
- Sulawesi goshawk, Lophospiza griseiceps
Both species were formerly classified in the genus Accipiter but molecular phylogenetic studies found that Accipiter was polyphyletic.[4][5] In the rearrangement to create monophyletic genera these two species were moved to the resurrected genus Lophospiza.[3][6]
