The common cicadabird (Edolisoma tenuirostre), also known as the slender-billed cicadabird, is a species of bird in the family Campephagidae. It is found in Australia, Indonesia, New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands. Its natural habitats are temperate forest and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest.[2] The species is placed in the reinstated genus Edolisoma by most authors.[3] The common cicadabird was described as a "great speciator" by Mayr & Diamond (2001);[4] and Pedersen et al. (2018)[3] described how this species rapidly colonized and diversified across the Indo-Pacific island region and Australia in the Pleistocene.

Subspecies

Numerous subspecies have been described; the list below is sorted taxonomically:[5]

The former subspecies E. t. nisorium was found to be of erroneous placement and to actually belong to the grey-capped cicadabird (E. remotum), and was thus moved to it by the International Ornithological Congress in 2022.[6]
