Taxonomy: Kupeornis gilberti Serle, 1949, Kupé Mountain, Cameroon.
Genus has been merged with Lioptilus, but perhaps closer to Phyllanthus; differs from latter in smaller and weaker bill with relatively broader base (less laterally compressed), more slit-like nostrils (as Turdoides), and more slender feet. Monotypic.
