Chrysococcyx is a genus of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae.
The genus Chrysococcyx was erected by the German zoologist Friedrich Boie in 1826 with the African emerald cuckoo (Chrysococcyx cupreus) as the type species.[1][2] The name Chrysococcyx combines the Ancient Greek χρυσος khrusos meaning "gold" and κοκκυξ kokkux "cuckoo".[3]
Some authorities split the principally Australo-Papuan taxa into the genus Chalcites.[4]
