Dinopiumis agenusof birds in the woodpecker familyPicidae.The species are found inSouthandSoutheast Asia.
The genus was introduced by the FrenchpolymathConstantine Samuel Rafinesquein 1814 to accommodate thecommon flameback(Dinopium javanense).[2][3]The name combines theClassical Greekdeinosmeaning "mighty" or "huge" andōps/ōposmeaning "appearance".[4]
A large phylogenetic study of the woodpecker family Picidae published in 2017 found that the genus wasparaphyletic.The olive-backed woodpecker (Dinopium rafflesii) is more closely related to thepale-headed woodpecker(Gecinulus grantia) than it is to other members of the genusDinopium.[5]
