Summary. The Bare‐throated Francolins formerly placed in the genus Ptermistis are considered to be members of the genus Francolinus (little adjustment of nomenclature is needed). Their relationship to Francolinus in environment is considered. The systematics of F. afer are discussed and attention is drawn to the genetic features of its hybrid populations.
