About Hypothymis
Hypothymis is a genus of birds in the family Monarchidae. The genus was introduced by the German zoologist Friedrich Boie in 1826 with the black-naped monarch as the type species. The word Hypothymis is from the Ancient Greek hupothumis, the name of an unidentified bird mentioned by the playwright Aristophanes.
