Taxonomy

The genus Penelopides was introduced in 1849 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in a plate of the hornbills.[2] The type species was subsequently designated as the Visayan hornbill (Penelopides panini) by the English zoologist George Gray.[3][4] The origin of Reichenbach's generic name is uncertain. It may be a combination of the Latin pene meaning "almost" or "nearly", the Ancient Greek lophos meaning "crest" and -oidēs "resembling".[5]

While the

allopatric species, the Visayan (P. panini), Luzon (P. manillae), Mindanao (P. affinis), and Mindoro (P. mindorensis). Today most authorities accept this split, although some have recommended splitting the Samar (P. samarensis) from the Mindanao.[clarification needed
