Megalaima lathami, Print, Psilopogon, Psilopogon is a genus of Old World barbets that used to include a single species, the fire-tufted barbet P. pyrolophus in the past. Results of molecular phylogenetic analyses indicate that the genus is nested within an evolutionary branch consisting of Asian barbets that were formerly placed in the genus Megalaima proposed by George Robert Gray in 1841. Since Psilopogon was proposed by Salomon Müller already in 1835, it takes priority., 1772-1829
