Calicalicus is a genus of bird in the family Vangidae. It contains two species,[1] both of which are endemic to Madagascar:[2]
The genus was introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854 with the red-tailed vanga as the type species.[3] The name Calicalicus is from the Malagasy word Cali-cali reported by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson for the male red-tailed vanga.[4]
