Ianthocincla is a genus of passerine birds in the family Leiothrichidae.
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 Neo-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]
The genus contains eight species: [5]
