Taxonomy[]
Was formerly placed in the genus Delacourigallus and Hierophasis, but genetic studies found that no evidence that Lophura as currently constituted is polyphyletic;[2] the same study showed that Lophura comprises of five clades, of which L. edwardsi forms a clade with L. swinhoii.[2]
Form known as “Imperial Pheasant, L. imperialis” now known to be a hybrid between L. edwardsi and L. nycthemera.[3] Form hatinhensis, sometimes treated as a full species, L. hatinhensis or as a subspecies of L. edwardsi, now judged to be an unstable variant produced by inbreeding.[4]
Edwards's Pheasant includes Vietnamese Pheasant (L. hatinhensis). Its taxonomic status is uncertain, but species description inadequate and hypotheses re variation in Edwards's Pheasant unresolved.[5][6][4][7]
