''Leucopternis'' is a Neotropical genus of birds of prey in the Accipitridae family. They are associated with tropical forests, and are uncommon or rare. Their plumage is largely black or gray above and white below, and they have distinctive orange ceres. ==Species== Traditionally, ''Leucopternis'' contains significantly more species than given here. However, as the genus probably was polyphyletic,〔Raposo do Amaral et al. (2006), Mindell and Lerner (2008)〕 moves of species to other genera were proposed〔Raposo do Amaral et al. (2009)〕 and have been accepted by the American Ornithologists' Union's South American Check-list Committee〔Remsen et al. (2012)〕 and North American Check-list Committee,〔Chesser et al. (2012)〕 except that the South American Committee placed the former ''L. lacernulatus'' in the existing genus ''Buteogallus'' instead of in a new genus ''Amadonastur'' by itself. The other species were placed in the genera ''Cryptoleucopteryx'', ''Morphnarchus'', ''Pseudastur'', and ''Buteogallus''. According to this treatment, the species remaining in ''Leucopternis'' are: * Semiplumbeous hawk (''Leucopternis semiplumbeus'') * Black-faced hawk (''Leucopternis melanops'') * White-browed hawk (''Leucopternis kuhli'') 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leucopternis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
