Cyanopica
Cyanopica is a small genus of magpies in the family Corvidae. They belong to a common lineage with the genus Perisoreus.
The genus Cyanopica was introduced in 1850 by the French naturalist Charles [Lucien Bonaparte]. The type species was designated by George Gray in 1855 as Corvus cyanus Peter [Simon Pallas|Pallas], 1766, the azure-winged magpie. The generic name is derived from the Latin words cyanos, meaning "lapis lazuli", and pica, meaning "magpie".
