Revised Japanese Names for Genera and Species of Otidimorphae: Bustards, Turacos and Cuckoos (Otidiformes, Musophagiformes and Cuculiformes)

During that time, the classification of birds has undergone major changes. Here we provide a revised list of Japanese names for genera and species of Bustards, Turacos and Cuckoos (Otidiformes, Musophagiformes and Cuculiformes), which adopts the latest classification system (Gill et al. 2025).
