Cinnyris is a genus of sunbirds. Its members are sometimes included in Nectarinia, they are known as double-collared sunbirds because the fringe of their bib includes a band of contrastingly coloured feathers. The sunbirds are a group of small Old World passerine birds which feed on nectar, although they will take insects when feeding young. Flight is direct on their short wings. Most species can take nectar by hovering like a hummingbird, but perch to feed; the genus was introduced by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1816. The type species was subsequently designated as the splendid sunbird; the name Cinnyris is from the Ancient Greek kinnuris, an unknown small bird mentioned by Hesychius of Alexandria. It is suspected that the genus is polyphyletic and the positions of many are unresolved:The genus contains 56 species: Olive-bellied sunbird, Cinnyris chloropygius Tiny sunbird, Cinnyris minullus Eastern Miombo sunbird, Cinnyris manoensis Western Miombo sunbird, Cinnyris gertrudis – split from eastern Miombo sunbird Southern double-collared sunbird, Cinnyris chalybeus Neergaard's sunbird, Cinnyris neergaardi Rwenzori double-collared sunbird, Cinnyris stuhlmanni Whyte’s double-collared sunbird, Cinnyris whytei – split from Ludwig's double-collared sunbird Prigogine's double-collared sunbird, Cinnyris prigoginei Ludwig's double-collared sunbird, Cinnyris ludovicensis Northern double-collared sunbird, Cinnyris reichenowi Greater double-collared sunbird, Cinnyris afer Regal sunbird, Cinnyris regius Rockefeller's sunbird, Cinnyris rockefelleri Eastern double-collared sunbird, Cinnyris mediocris Usambara double-collared sunbird, Cinnyris usambaricus – split from eastern double-collared sunbird Forest double-collared sunbird, Cinnyris fuelleborni Moreau's sunbird, Cinnyris moreaui Beautiful sunbird, Cinnyris pulchellus Loveridge's sunbird, Cinnyris loveridgei Marico sunbird, Cinnyris mariquensis Shelley's sunbird, Cinnyris shelleyi Hofmann's sunbird, Cinnyris hofmanni Congo sunbird, Cinnyris congensis Red-chested sunbird, Cinnyris erythrocerca Black-bellied sunbird, Cinnyris nectarinioides Purple-banded sunbird, Cinnyris bifasciatus Tsavo sunbird, Cinnyris tsavoensis - sometimes included in C. bifasciatus Violet-breasted sunbird, Cinnyris chalcomelas Pemba sunbird, Cinnyris pembae Orange-tufted sunbird, Cinnyris bouvieri Palestine sunbird, Cinnyris oseus Shining sunbird, Cinnyris habessinicus Splendid sunbird, Cinnyris coccinigaster Johanna's sunbird, Cinnyris johannae Superb sunbird, Cinnyris superbus Rufous-winged sunbird, Cinnyris rufipennis Oustalet's sunbird, Cinnyris oustaleti White-bellied sunbird, Cinnyris talatala Variable sunbird, Cinnyris venustus Dusky sunbird, Cinnyris fuscus Ursula's sunbird, Cinnyris ursulae Bates's sunbird, Cinnyris batesi Copper sunbird, Cinnyris cupreus Purple sunbird, Cinnyris asiaticus Olive-backed sunbird, Cinnyris jugularis Apricot-breasted sunbird, Cinnyris buettikoferi Flame-breasted sunbird, Cinnyris solaris Souimanga sunbird, Cinnyris sovimanga Abbott's sunbird, Cinnyris abbotti Seychelles sunbird, Cinnyris dussumieri Malagasy green sunbird, Cinnyris notatus Humblot's sunbird, Cinnyris humbloti Anjouan sunbird, Cinnyris comorensis Mayotte sunbird, Cinnyris coquerellii Loten's sunbird, Cinnyris lotenius Barlow and Disley, Birds of The Gambia ISBN 1-873403-32-1 Grimmett and Inskipp, Birds of India ISBN 0-691-04910-6 Robson, Craig A Field Guide to the Birds of Thailand ISBN 1-84330-921-1 Sinclair, Ian.
