About the Silver-breasted Broadbill
The silver-breasted broadbill (Serilophus lunatus) is a species of bird in the broadbill family, Eurylaimidae that is found in parts of Southeast Asia. There are seven currently recognised subspecies; the other species in the genus Serilophus, the grey-lored broadbill, was also previously treated as being a subspecies of this species.
The silver-breasted broadbill was formally described in 1834 by the English ornithologist John Gould. He placed it in the genus Eurylaimus and coined the binomial name Eurylaimus lunatus. The specific epithet is Latin meaning "crescent-shaped" of "sickle-shaped", from Latin luna meaning "moon". Gould specified the type locality as the neighbourhood of Rangoon (now Yangon) in Myanmar but the locality was subsequently restricted to the hills in the region of Bago, which lie to the north of Yangon.
The silver-breasted broadbill is now one of two species placed in the genus Serilophus that was introduced in 1837 by William Swainson. The other species in Serilophus, the grey-lored broadbill, was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the silver-breasted broadbill.
