Subgenus Lophophanes View in CoL , type species Parus cristatus L., 1758
(Crested Tits)
The kinship relation between the relatively longtailed Crested Tit ( P. cristatus ) and the Greycrested Tit ( P. dichrous ) can in my view be best expressed by the superspecies (see Haffer, in: Glutz v. Blotzheim & Bauer 1993, 13: 365). The two share more characteristics than would be expected, given the obvious difference in coloration. In Martens’ judgment (Löhrl 1991: 11) the sonagram reveals a close similarity of the vocalizations of the two species, but cf. Diesselhorst (1968: 347). Both species are “red”eyed.
