    Halcyon cinnamomina Swainson, 1821, Northern Mariana Islands. Genus often merged into Halcyon. Closely related to T. chloris and T. enigma. Extinct race miyakoensis of Miyako-jima (S Ryukyu Is) sometimes considered a full species, but information on bill colour lacking; probably better treated tentatively as race of present species. Three extant subspecies recognized. (source: Handbook of the Birds of World)
