Gyps is a genus of Old World vultures that was proposed by Marie Jules César Savigny in 1809. Its members are sometimes known as griffon vultures. Gyps vultures have a slim head, a long slender neck with downy feathers, and a ruff around the neck formed by long buoyant feathers. The crown of their big beaks is a little compressed, and their big dark nostrils are set transverse to the beak. They have six or seven wing feathers, of which the first is the shortest and the fourth the longest.[2]

Species

Gyps comprises the following species:

Image Name Distribution and IUCN Red List status

White-rumped vulture G. bengalensis (Gmelin, 1788)[5] India and Pakistan
CR[6]
Cape vulture G. coprotheres (Forster, 1798)[7] Southern Africa

EN[8]

Indian vulture G. indicus (Scopoli, 1786)[9] Pakistan, India and Nepal
CR[10]
Slender-billed vulture G. tenuirostris Gray, 1844[11] India
CR[12]
Rüppell's vulture G. ruppelli (Brehm, 1852)[13] Sahel
CR[14]
White-backed vulture G. africanus Salvadori, 1865[15] West and East Africa
CR[16]
Himalayan vulture G. himalayensis Hume, 1869[17]
NT[18]
† Maltese vulture G. melitensis Lydekker, 1890[19] Fossil remains were found in Middle to Late Pleistocene sites all over the central and eastern Mediterranean.[20]
† G. bochenskii Boev, 2010 Fossil remains were found near Varshets in northwestern Bulgaria that were dated to the Late Pliocene.[21]
