Meleagris est genus magnarum avium familiae Phasianidarum, quae in America endemica est. Generi sunt duae species exstantes: Meleagris gallopavo Americae Septentrionalis et Meleagris ocellata Mexici, Belizae, et Guatemalae. Maribus ambarum specierum est distincta palea corporea, tuber rubrum vel roseum quod ex summo rostro dependet. Inter maximas suarum terrarum aves numerantur. Mas, ut in multis galliformibus aliis, femina est maior et clariores colores exhibet.

Primae meleagres in America Septentrionali abhinc annorum 20 milliones exortae sunt, et communes maiores recentes cum tetraoninis, phasianinis, aliisque avibus gallinaceis partiunt.

Meleagrides in familiam Phasianidarum (phasianinarum, perdicinarum, gallorum, tetraoninarum, et cognatorum) in taxinomico Galliformium ordine digeruntur.[1] Genus Meleagris est solum genus in subfamilia Meleagridinarum exstans, olim familia Meleagrididarum appellata, sed nunc intra familiam Phasianidarum subsumpta.

Meleagris californica, inter fossilia in California meridiana inventa, exstincta est.
