Striated Bulbul (Alcurus striatus)
About the Striated Bulbul
The striated bulbul (Alcurus striatus) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is the only species placed in the genus Alcurus. It is found from the eastern Himalayas to northern Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The striated bulbul was originally described in the genus Tricophorus (a synonym for Criniger) and it was later transferred to Pycnonotus, before its latest reassignment. Alternate names for the striated bulbul include the striated green bulbul and striped bulbul. Three subspecies are recognized: A. s. striatus (Blyth, 1842) – eastern Himalayas, north-eastern India, southern China and western Myanmar A. s. arctus (Ripley, 1948) – Mishmi Hills (north-eastern India)
