Genus Lophura
Bulwer's Pheasant - Bulwer's Pheasant is sexually dimorphic. Males have a total length of about 80 centimetres , and are black-plumaged with a maroon breast, crimson legs, a pure white tail of long, curved feathers, and bright blue facial skin with two wattles that conceal the sides of its head. Females have a total length of about 55 centimetres , and are an overall dull brown colour with red legs and blue facial skin.
Siamese Fireback - The Siamese Fireback is distributed to the lowland and evergreen forests of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam in Southeast Asia. This species is also designated as the national bird of Thailand. The female usually lays between four to eight rosy eggs.
Edward's pheasant - This species has two varieties. The nominate form L. e. edwardsi has a white crest and upper tail, whereas the northern form L. e. hatinhensis is found with a variable number of white retrices. This difference in the two forms may be due to inbreeding of a restricted, fragmented population there, and has also been seen in captive, inbred L. e. edwardsi. The northern form is sometimes given a separate species status by some authors, Vietnamese Pheasant, Lophura hatinhensis .

Sumatran Pheasant - Its appearance resembles and sometimes is considered as a subspecies of the Salvadori's Pheasant. The female is different from the latter for having darker brown, lack of buff mottling and plainer plumage.
Crested Fireback - The Crested Fireback is found in lowland forests of the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Borneo and Sumatra. There are four subspecies of the Crested Fireback. Males of the subspecies from Borneo and Bangka Island, L. i ignita and L. i. nobilis , have brown central tail feathers, whitish legs and are rufous below. The male Vieillot's Crested Fireback, L. i. rufa, of the Thai-Malay Peninsula and most of Sumatra has white central tail feathers, red legs and bluish black streaked white below. The final subspecies, Delacour's Crested Fireback, L. i. macartneyi, is found in south-eastern Sumatra and the male has white to the tail, whitish legs and a variable amount of rufous below. The female of L. i ignita and L. i. nobilis have a dark, blackish tail and whitish legs, while female of L. i.a rufa has a chestnut brown tail and red legs.
Salvadori's Pheasant - This species is classified as vulnerable. In Kerinci Seblat National Park numbers are reducing due to heavy trapping and hunting by local people for food.
Kalij Pheasant - The name is also spelt Kaleege in old texts, such as Game Birds of India and Asia by Frank Finn,
Silver Pheasant - As other pheasant, the Silver Pheasant was placed in the genus Phasianus when described by Linnaeus in 1758. Since then it – or at least some of the subspecies associated with it – have been placed either in Euplocamus
