The scaly-breasted bulbul (Rubigula squamata) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family.[2] It is found from the Malay Peninsula to Borneo. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Taxonomy and systematics
[edit]The scaly-breasted bulbul was originally described in the genus Ixos and later moved to Pycnonotus.[3] Pycnonotus was found to be polyphyletic in molecular phylogenetic studies and three bulbul species, including the scaly-breasted bulbul, moved to Ixodia.[4][5] In 2025 AviList merged Ixodia into a more broadly defined Rubigula.[2]
Subspecies
[edit]Three subspecies are recognized:[2]
