Nectariniidaeis afamilyofpasserine birdsin the superfamilyPasseroidea,comprising the sunbirds and spiderhunters.[1]Members of Nectariniidae are also known as nectariniids.[2]Their range extends from theAfrotropicsnorth to theLevantand southernArabian Peninsula,and east throughSouthandSoutheast Asiaup toNew Guineaand northern Australia.[3]They inhabit a wide variety of habitats, from aridsavannahto tropicalrainforests,and can be found fromsea levelto an altitude of 4,900 m (16,100 ft). Sunbirds are generally small birds with long, thin, down-curved bills and brightly coloured,iridescentplumages.[2]They display markedsexual dimorphism,and males are much more visually striking than females, who are usually dull green, brown, or grey. Thespiderhunters(Arachnothera) are larger than other sunbirds and show less sexual dimorphism.[3]

The primary threat facing sunbirds ishabitat lossanddegradationcaused by deforestation due to agriculture.[2]Most species of sunbird are considered to be ofLeast Concernby theIUCN,although three species, theAmani sunbird,Loveridge's sunbird,and theelegant sunbird,areEndangered,and several others are consideredNear ThreatenedorVulnerable.

The exact delineation of sunbird species is somewhat contested and varies from authority to authority: theInternational Ornithologists' Union(IOU) recognizes 146 species of sunbirds in 16 genera,[1]while other authorities recognise 143–147 species.[4][5]The largest genera areCinnyrisandAethopyga,with 53 and 23 species, respectively.[1]Recentphylogeneticstudies indicate that several widespread species such as theolive-backedandblack sunbirdsmay represent complexes of multiplecryptic species.[6]Severalundescribed speciesof sunbird may also exist inSierra Leone,Djibouti,[3]andTanzania.[5]

Conservation status codes listed follow theInternational Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN)Red List of Threatened Species.Range maps are provided wherever possible; if a range map is not available, a description of the sunbird's range is provided. Ranges are based on theIOC World Bird Listfor that species unless otherwise noted. Population estimates are of the number of mature individuals and are taken from the IUCN Red List.

This list follows thetaxonomic treatment(designation and order of species) and nomenclature (scientific and common names) of version 13.2 of the IOC World Bird List.[1]Where the taxonomy proposed by the IOC World Bird List conflicts with the taxonomy followed by the IUCN[a]or the 2023 edition ofThe Clements Checklist of Birds of the World,the disagreement is noted next to the species's common name (for nomenclatural disagreements) or scientific name (for taxonomic disagreements).

Classification

[edit]

TheInternational Ornithologists' Union(IOU) recognizes 146 species of sunbirds in 16 genera;[1]other authorities recognise 143–147 species.[4][5]This list does not includehybrid species,extinct prehistoric species, or putative species not yet accepted by the IOU.
