6, see text Licmetis is a subgenus of the white cockatoos (genus Cacatua).

They are collectively known as corellas in Australia.

Three of the six species are primarily – or only – found in Australia, while the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Solomons each have an endemic species.

They are relatively small cockatoos and – unlike the members of the subgenus Cacatua – all have pale bills.

While most show yellow-tinged underwings and some red to the face, none has conspicuously coloured crests.
