Subgenus Anthochaera (Anthochaera) Vigors & Horsfield, 1827
- Anthochaera Vigors, N.A. & Horsfield, T. 1827. A description of the Australian birds in the collection of the Linnean Society; with an attempt at arranging them according to their natural affinities. Transactions of the Linnean Society of London 15: 170-331 [Date published 17 Feb 1827: publication dated 1826] [320] [type species of Anthochaera Vigors & Horsfield, 1827 is Merops carunculatus Latham, 1790 = Anthochaera carunculata (Shaw, 1790) by subsequent designation of an included nominal species by G.R. Gray, List Genera Birds (1840); most modern synonymies have been confounded by Mathews' muddled interpretation in Austral Avian Rec. 1 (1912: 116)].
Type species:
Certhia mellivora Latham, 1801 by subsequent designation, see Gadow, H. 1884. Catalogue of the Passeriformes, or perching birds in the collection of the British Museum. Cinnyrimorphae: containing the families Nectariniidae and Meliphagidae (Sun-birds and Honey-eaters). London : British Museum Vol. 9 xii 310 pp. [262]. - Acanthochaera Gadow, H. 1884. Catalogue of the Passeriformes, or perching birds in the collection of the British Museum. Cinnyrimorphae: containing the families Nectariniidae and Meliphagidae (Sun-birds and Honey-eaters). London : British Museum Vol. 9 xii 310 pp. [262] [unjustified emendation of Anthochaera Vigors & Horsfield, 1827].

Type species:

Type species:
Merops carunculata Latham, 1790 by original designation. - Colena Mathews, G.M. 1931. Untitled. Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club 52(353): 25 [Date published 4 Nov 1931] [25] [replacement name for Coleia Mathews, 1912; preoccupied by Coleia Broderip 1837 (Crustacea)].

- Anthochoera Thienemann, 1845.
- Creadion Vieillot, L.P. 1816. Analyse d'une nouvelle ornithologie élémentaire. Paris : Déterville 70 pp. [Date published 14 Apr 1816] [34] [application unclear because (1) original description included nominal species of two families, Meliphagidae and Callaeatidae without designation of a type species, and (2) subsequent type species designations are flawed: Sturnus carunculatus Gmelin, 1789 (Callaeatidae) by 'elimination' (Vigors & Horsfield, Trans. Linn. Soc. 25(1827)321) and creadion à pendeloques (Meliphagidae) by confused species designation (Lesson, Compl. Oevres Buffon 9(1837)7) — as the name is a source of confusion, it is rejected here under ICdZN Art. 82 pending application to the ICmZN for its suppression].
Type species:
Corvus paradoxus Daudin, 1800 by subsequent designation, see Lesson, R.P. 1837. Complément des Oevres de Buffon; ou, Histoire Naturelle des Animaux rares découverts par les naturalistes et les voyageurs depuis la mort de Buffon. Oiseaux. Paris : Pourrat Frères Vol. 9 550 pp. [7].
