Genus of birds
Veniliornis is a genus of birds in the woodpecker family Picidae. They are native to the Neotropics.
Taxonomy
The genus was introduced by the French ornithologist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854.[2] The word Veniliornis combines the name of the Roman deity Venilia with the Greek word ornis meaning "bird".[3] The type species was designated as the blood-colored woodpecker (Veniliornis sanguineus) by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1855.[4][5]
The genus contains the following 14 species:[6]
