The banded honeyeater (Cissomela pectoralis) is a species of bird in the Meliphagidae family. It is endemic to Australia.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, and Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation.
The banded honeyeater was previously placed in the genus Certhionyx but was moved to the monotypic genus Cissomela after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2011 showed that the original genus was polyphyletic.[2][3]
