Anthracoceros is a genus of birds in the family Bucerotidae.

The genus was introduced by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in 1849.[1] The type species was subsequently designated as the Malabar pied hornbill (Anthracoceros coronatus).[2][3] The name is a combination of the Ancient Greek words ανθραξ anthrax, ανθρακος anthrakos meaning "coal black" and κερας keras, κερως kerōs meaning "horn".[4] A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that Anthracoceros was sister to the genus Ocyceros which contains the three grey hornbill species.[5]

The genus contains five species:[6]

Scientific name	Common Name	Distribution
Anthracoceros coronatus	Malabar pied hornbill	India and Sri Lanka
Anthracoceros albirostris	Oriental pied hornbill	Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China (Guangxi, Yunnan and Tibet), Eastern and Northern India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam
Anthracoceros malayanus	Black hornbill	Asia in Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand.
Anthracoceros marchei	Palawan hornbill	Palawan island
Anthracoceros montani	Sulu hornbill	Philippines
