Eupodotis is a genus of bird in the bustard family Otididae. It contains the five species, all restricted to Africa. Species in the genera Afrotis and Lophotis are sometimes included in this genus;[1] however some authorities separate the Karoo korhann, Rüpell's Korhaan and little brown bustard as a separate genus Heterotetrax.[2]
