Javan Trogon (Apalharpactes reinwardtii)
About the Javan Trogon
The Javan trogon (Apalharpactes reinwardtii) is a bird species in the family Trogonidae endemic to western Java, Indonesia. It was previously grouped with the Sumatran trogon as a single species, known as the blue-tailed trogon. However, differences in size, weight, and plumage have led to their classification as separate species. Both species were once included in the genus Harpactes alongside other Asian trogons, but due to differences in plumage, they have been reclassified into their own genus, Apalharpactes. The Javan trogon belongs to the order Trogoniformes and the family Trogonidae. It was formerly grouped with the Sumatran trogon (Apalharpactes mackloti) under the species name Harpactes reinwardtii, commonly known as the blue-tailed trogon, first described by Coenraad Jacob Temminck in 1822.
