Coracina is a large genus of birds in the cuckooshrike family Campephagidae.
The genus was introduced by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816.
[1] The type species was subsequently designated as the white-bellied cuckooshrike by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1850–1851.
It was split based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010.
A major clade was moved to the resurrected genus Edolisoma and a smaller group of Asian and Indian Ocean species moved to the genus Lalage.
