Tropicoperdix Explained

Tropicoperdix is a genus of three species of birds in the pheasant family, Phasianidae. Although formerly classified in the now-defunct subfamily Perdicinae, phylogenetic evidence supports them being a sister group to the tribe Polyplectronini.^{[1] [2] [3]} They are referred to as East Asian forest partridges.
