Chrysocolaptes is a genus of birds in the woodpecker family Picidae that are found in South and Southeast Asia.
The genus was introduced by English zoologist Edward Blyth in 1843.[1] The type species was subsequently designated as the Javan flameback (Chrysocolaptes strictus) by Scottish ornithologist Edward Hargitt in 1890.[2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek khrusos meaning "gold" and kolaptēs meaning "chiseller".[3] The genus belongs to the tribe Campephilini in the subfamily Picinae and is sister to the orange-backed woodpecker, the only species in the genus Reinwardtipicus.[4]
The genus contains these eight species:[5]
