Malaconotus

Malaconotus is a genus of bird in the bush-shrike family Malaconotidae. About 60% of the species formerly placed here are now usually separated in Telophorus. The old taxonomy is also often found though.

Malaconotus sensu stricto contains the following species:
 * Fiery-breasted Bush-shrike, Malaconotus cruentus
 * Lagden's Bush-shrike, Malaconotus lagdeni
 * Green-breasted Bush-shrike, Malaconotus gladiator
 * Grey-headed Bush-shrike, Malaconotus blanchoti
 * Monteiro's Bush-shrike, Malaconotus monteiri
 * Uluguru Bush-shrike, Malaconotus alius

Sometimes the Olive Bushshrike (Telophorus olivaceus) can be included in this genus.
