Lichmera

Lichmera is a genus of birds in the honeyeater family Meliphagidae that are found in Southeast Asia.

==Taxonomy== The genus Lichmera was introduced in 1851 by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis. He listed two species in the new genus but did not specify a type species. In 1854 the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte designate the type as Glyciphila ocularis Gould, which is now treated as a subspecies of the brown honeyeater (Lichmera indistincta ocularis). The genus name Lichmera is from Ancient Greek λιχμηρης/likhmērēs meaning "licking with the tongue".
