2-5, see text Penelopides is the genus of relatively small, primarily frugivorous hornbills restricted to forested areas of the Philippines.

The genus Penelopides was introduced in 1849 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in a plate of the hornbills.

[2] The type species was subsequently designated as the Visayan hornbill (Penelopides panini) by the English zoologist George Gray.

[5] While the taxonomic history of the Sulawesi hornbill has been uneventful, the number of species in the Philippine Archipelago has been greatly debated.

Following a review, it was recommended that it should be split into four allopatric species, the Visayan (P. panini), Luzon (P. manillae), Mindanao (P. affinis), and Mindoro (P. mindorensis).
