The black-throated honeyeater (Caligavis subfrenata) is a species of bird in the family Meliphagidae. It is found in New Guinea. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
The black-throated honeyeater was originally described in 1876 as Lichenostomus subfrenatus, but was moved to Caligavis after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2011 showed that Lichenostomus was polyphyletic.[2][3]
