Clanga is a genus in the family Accipitridae which contains the spotted eagles.
Taxonomy
[edit]The genus Clanga was introduced in 1854 by the Polish naturalist Adam Ferdynand Adamowicz (1802-1881).[1][2][3] The type species is, by tautonymy, Aquila clanga that was described in 1811 by Peter Simon Pallas (now the greater spotted eagle (Clanga clanga)).[4] The genus name is from Ancient Greek klangos meaning "eagle".[5]
A molecular phylogenetic study of the Accipitridae published in 2024 found that the genus Clanga was sister to the genus Ictinaetus which contains the black eagle.[6]
