1. Calyptorhynchus

   Described by French naturalist Anselme Gaëtan Desmarest in 1826, the genus Calyptorhynchus has two species of cockatoos. They are all mostly black in colour, and the taxa may be differentiated partly by size and partly by small areas of red, grey, and yellow plumage, especially in the tail feathers. Studies based on the mitochondrial DNA 12S gene fragment suggested that other sexually dichromatic species, the gang-gang cockatoo and the cockatiel may be the closest living relatives of Calyptorhynchus. However, subsequent studies, including more genes confirm the morphological taxonomy with the gang-gang cockatoo most closely related to the galah, within the white cockatoo group, and with the cockatiel as a third distinct subfamily of cockatoos. The Yellow-tailed black cockatoo, Baudin's black cockatoo and Carnaby's black cockatoo were previously included in Calyptorhynchus as subgenus Zanda. However, based on genetic divergence Zanda was recognised as a genus and the three species transferred out of Calyptorhynchus.

1. Calyptorhynchus

   Described by French naturalist Anselme Gaëtan Desmarest in 1826, the genus Calyptorhynchus has five species. They are all mostly black in colour, and the taxa may be differentiated partly by size and partly by small areas of red, grey and yellow plumage especially in the tail feathers. It is the largest genus of the "dark cockatoo" subfamily Calyptorhynchinae which now is recognized to contain also the other sexually dichromatic species, the Gang-gang Cockatoo and probably the cockatiel which despite its unique appearance may actually be the closest living relative of Calyptorhynchus. Two subgenera are recognized based on the colouration of the species, and presence of sexual dimorphism: ⁕Subgenus Calyptorhynchus - black-and-red cockatoos ⁕Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, Calyptorhynchus banksii ⁕Calyptorhynchus banksii banksii ⁕Calyptorhynchus banksii graptogyne ⁕Calyptorhynchus banksii macrorhynchus ⁕Calyptorhynchus banksii naso ⁕Calyptorhynchus banksii samueli ⁕Glossy Black Cockatoo, Calyptorhynchus lathamiCalyptorhynchus lathami lathamiCalyptorhynchus lathami erebusCalyptorhynchus lathami halmaturinus
