The black-naped monarch was described by the French polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in 1779 in his Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux. [2] The bird was also illustrated in a hand-coloured plate engraved by François-Nicolas Martinet in the Planches Enluminées D'Histoire Naturelle which was produced under the supervision of Edme-Louis Daubenton to accompany Buffon's text.

The genus was introduced by the German zoologist Friedrich Boie in 1826 with the black-naped monarch (Hypothymis azurea) as the type species. [2] [3] The word Hypothymis is from the Ancient Greek hupothumis, the name of an unidentified bird mentioned by the playwright Aristophanes. [4]
The following is an incomplete list of women monarchs who are well known from popular writings, although many ancient and poorly documented ruling monarchs (such as those from Africa and Oceania) are omitted. Section 1 lists monarchs who ruled in their own right, such as queens regnant. Section 2 lists legendary monarchs.
The black-naped monarch (Hypothymis azurea) is a slim and agile passerine bird belonging to the family of monarch flycatchers. They are sexually dimorphic : males have a distinctive black patch on the back of the head and a narrow black half collar ("necklace") while females are duller and lack the black markings.

The Vella Lavella monarch was formally described in 1908 by the German orthithologist Ernst Hartert based on a specimen collected on the island of Vella Lavella in the Solomon Islands archipelago. He coined the trinomial name Monarcha brodiei nigrotectus , where Monarcha brodiei Ramsay, EP , 1879 is a junior synonym of Monarcha barbatus ...
On the other hand, the women in the tales who do speak up are framed as wicked. Cinderella's stepsisters' language is decidedly more declarative than hers, and the woman at the center of the tale "The Lazy Spinner" is a slothful character who, to the Grimms' apparent chagrin, is "always ready with her tongue."
Sexual dimorphism in plumage can be subtle, as in the paperbark flycatcher, where the female is identical to the male except for a slight buff on the throat; strikingly, in the Chuuk monarch, where the male is almost entirely white and the female entirely black; or non-existent, as in the Tahiti monarch.
