A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that the genus Grus was polyphyletic. [4] In the subsequent rearrangement, four species were placed in the resurrected genus Antigone. [2] The genus had initially been erected in 1853 by German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach. [5] The type species is the sarus crane (Antigone antigone). [6]
This list does not include hybrid species, extinct prehistoric species, or putative species not yet accepted by the IOU. The cranes are divided into two subfamilies, which diverged from each other around 31 million years ago: Balearicinae, containing the genus Balearica, and Gruinae, containing the genera Leucogeranus, Antigone, and Grus.

In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera, the Siberian crane was moved to the resurrected monotypic genus Leucogeranus, while the sandhill crane, the white-naped crane, the sarus crane, and the brolga were moved to the resurrected genus Antigone. [1]
In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera, four species, including the sandhill crane, were placed in the resurrected genus Antigone that had originally been erected by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in 1853. [8] [9] The specific epithet canadensis is the modern Latin word for "from Canada". [10] Five subspecies are ...
The brolga was formerly placed in the genus Grus, but a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that the genus, as then defined, was polyphyletic. [11] In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera, four species, including the brolga, were placed in the resurrected genus Antigone that had originally been erected by ...

The sarus crane (Antigone antigone) is a large nonmigratory crane found in parts of the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and northern Australia.The tallest of the flying birds, standing at a height of up to 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in), they are a conspicuous species of open wetlands in South Asia, seasonally flooded Dipterocarpus forests in Southeast Asia, and Eucalyptus-dominated woodlands and ...
