Genus: Eupodotis

[edit] Description

Two species from Africa.

[edit] Taxonomy

Afrotis is a genus in the family Otididae.

[edit] Afrotis vs. Eupodotis

Some authorities (Clements 2010) place Black Bustard (afra) and White-quilled Bustard (afraoides) in the genus Eupodotis. However, Dickinson (2003) and Gill & Donsker (2010) place these two taxa in Afrotis.
