The tawny-crowned honeyeater was originally described by ornithologist John Latham in 1801 as Certhia melanops.[1] Its specific epithet is derived from the Ancient Greek terms melano- "black" and ōps "face".[2] It was previously classified in the genus Phylidonyris but a recent molecular study has shown it to be more distantly related to members of that genus.[3] It was placed in the genus Gliciphila by Gregory Mathews in 1912, and this name was used in its current binomial name. DNA analysis has shown honeyeaters to be related to the Pardalotidae (pardalotes), Acanthizidae (Australian warblers, scrubwrens, thornbills, etc.), and Maluridae (Australian fairy-wrens) in a large Meliphagoidea superfamily.[4] The tawny-crowned honeyeater is found from the North Coast of New South Wales through to the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, as well as Victoria and Tasmania. It also occurs in south west Western Australia from Israelite Bay westwards. Its natural habitat is low shrubland and heath.[5] The breeding season may take place from June to December. The bulky cup-shaped nest is made of bark, grass, and even seaweed and lined with softer material such as fur or wool. It is hidden among shrubby vegetation. The clutch size is usually two or three, and occasionally four. Measuring 21 x 14 mm, the oval eggs are beige, with buff or pink-tinged splotches.[5] References1. ^{{ cite book | last=Latham | first=John | year=1801 | title=Supplementum indicis ornithologici sive systematis ornithologiae | place=London | publisher=Leigh & Sotheby | language=Latin | page=xxxvi | url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/33261410 }} {{Taxonbar|from=Q775477}}{{DEFAULTSORT:honeyeater, tawny-crowned}}2. ^{{cite book | author = Liddell, Henry George and Robert Scott | year = 1980 | title = A Greek-English Lexicon (Abridged Edition) | publisher = Oxford University Press | location = United Kingdom | isbn =0-19-910207-4}} 3. ^Driskell, A.C., Christidis, L (2004) Phylogeny and evolution of the Australo-Papuanhoneyeaters (Passeriformes, Meliphagidae) Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 31 943–960 4. ^Barker, F.K., Cibois, A., Schikler, P., Feinstein, J., and Cracraft, J (2004) Phylogeny and diversification of the largest avian radiation.
