Sugomel lombokius Sugomel niger Sugomel is a genus of bird in the honeyeater family Meliphagidae.

[2] It contains two species, one native to Australia and the other endemic to the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia: Prior to 2022, the black honeyeater was considered the only species in the genus, but the International Ornithological Congress reclassified S. lombokius (formerly in Lichmera) into Sugomel based on a phylogenetic analysis finding it to be the sister species to S.

niger.
