Ptilopachus is an African genus of birds in theNew World quail family.

Taxonomy

[edit]

The genusPtilopachus was introduced in 1837 by the English naturalistWilliam Swainson to accommodate a single species, thestone partridge, which is therefore thetype species.[2][3] The genus name is fromAncient Greekptilon meaning "feather" withpakhus meaning "thick" or "dense".[4]

As traditionally defined, only thestone partridge was included in this genus, but based ongenetic evidence, it now also includesNahan's partridge (formerly considered afrancolin). The study also concludes that this genus is more closely related to theNew World quails (Odontophoridae) and might be considered their only African representative.[5][6][7]

Description

[edit]

At about 25 cm (9.8 in) in length, both are relatively small,terrestrial birds with a red eye-ring, base of the bill, and legs, and brownish upperparts.[8]
