Taxonomy and systematics

The genus Monarcha was introduced by naturalists Nicholas Vigors and Thomas Horsfield in 1827 with the black-faced monarch (Monarcha melanopsis) as the type species.[1][2] The genus formerly included many more species. Based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2005 nineteen species were moved to the resurrected genus Symposiachrus and three to Carterornis.[3][4]

Extant species

The genus Monarcha contains the following nine species:[4]

Former species

Formerly, some authorities also considered the following species (or subspecies) as species within the genus Monarcha:
