Clamator is a genus of large brood-parasitic cuckoos with crests and graduated tails.
The genus was erected by German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup in 1829 with the great spotted cuckoo (Clamator glandarius) as the type species.[2] The name Clamator is Latin for "he who shouts" from clamare, "to shout".[3]
