The genus was introduced in 1854 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte .[ 1] The type species is the white-faced cuckoo-dove (Turacoena manadensis ).[ 2] [ 3] The name Turacoena combines the genus name Turacus introduced by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1800 and the Ancient Greek oinas meaning "pigeon".[ 4]
The genus includes just 3 species.[ 5]
