Iole is a genus of songbirds in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. They are native to tropical eastern Asia, from India to China and south through Southeast Asia to northern Indonesia.

Taxonomy and systematics

Some older sources merge this genus into Hypsipetes;^{[ citation needed ]} however, molecular phylogenetic analyses indicate that these two lineages are not each other's closest relative. ^{[2] [3]}

Extant species

The following seven species are currently recognized: ^[4]

Image	Scientific name	Common name	Distribution
-	Finsch's bulbul	Iole finschii	Malesia
	Sulphur-bellied bulbul	Iole palawanensis	Palawan
-	Olive bulbul	Iole viridescens	Northeast India and western Indochina
	Buff-vented bulbul	Iole crypta	Thailand, Malay peninsula and Sumatra
	Charlotte's bulbul	Iole charlottae	Borneo

• Yellow-browed bulbul (as Iole indica) ^[5]
• Yellow-browed bulbul (icterica) (as Iole icterica) ^[6]
• Cinereous bulbul (as Iole cinerea) ^[7]
