Carpococcyx is a genus of large terrestrial cuckoos in the Cuculidae family. They are restricted to humid forested regions in Southeast Asia. Despite their similarities, they are not closely related to the South American ground cuckoos of the genus Neomorphus.
Species
This genus contains three allopatric species; two of which until recently were considered conspecific under the name Sunda ground cuckoo:
- Coral-billed ground cuckoo (Carpococcyx renauldi)
- Bornean ground cuckoo (Carpococcyx radiceus)
- Sumatran ground cuckoo (Carpococcyx viridis)
