Harpactes is a genus ofbirds in the familyTrogonidae found in forests inSouth andSoutheast Asia, extending into southernmostChina. They are stronglysexually dimorphic, with females generally being duller than males. Their back is brownish, the tail is partially white (best visible from below), and males of most species have red underparts. They feed onarthropods, small lizards and fruit.
Two species,cinnamon-rumped andscarlet-rumped trogons, were previously classified in a separate genus,Duvaucelius, and a 2010 study found that these two were closely related and formed a separate clade from all of the otherHarpactes trogons (exceptorange-breasted trogon, which forms a third group), but recommended that all three groups should be treated as congeneric.[2] This same study also found that the genusApalharpactes, containing two species sometimes included inHarpactes, is actually distantly related and thus a valid genus.[2]
