Ianthocincla is a genus of passerine birds in the family Leiothrichidae.

Taxonomy[]

The genus Ianthocincla was erected by English ornithologist and bird artist John Gould in 1835 with the spotted laughingthrush as the type species.[1][2] The name of the genus combines the Ancient Greek ionthos "young hair" or "down" with the New Latin cinclus "thrush".[3] The species now placed in the genus were previously assigned to Garrulax but following the publication of a molecular phylogenetic study in 2018, Garrulax was split up and some of the species were moved to the resurrected genus Ianthocincla.[4][5]

Species[]

The genus contains eight species:[5]
