Mixornis is a genus of passerine birds in the Old World babbler family Timaliidae.
These species were formerly placed in the genus Macronus . A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2012 found that Macronus was not monophyletic. To create monophyletic genera Macronus was split and some species moved to the resurrected genus Mixornis. [2] [3] Mixornis had been introduced in 1842 by the English zoologist Edward Blyth to accommodate the taxon Timalia chloris. This is a junior synonym of Macronous gularis rubicapillus which had been described in 1833 by Samuel Tickell. It is now one of the subspecies of the pin-striped tit-babbler (Mixornis gularis rubicapilla). [2] [4] [5] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek mixis meaning "mixed" or "mingling" with ornis meaning "bird". [6]
The genus includes the following species: [2]

Dumetia is a genus of passerine birds in the Old World babbler family Timaliidae that are found in India and Sri Lanka.
The dark-fronted babbler is an Old World babbler found in the Western Ghats of India and the forests of Sri Lanka. They are small chestnut brown birds with a dark black cap, a whitish underside and pale yellow iris. They forage in flocks in the undergrowth of forests constantly making calls and uttering alarm calls when disturbed.
Leiothrix is a genus of passerine birds in the family Leiothrichidae. They belong to a clade also containing at least the liocichlas, barwings, minlas and sibias. The sibias are possibly their closest living relatives.

Micromacronus is a bird genus in the family Cisticolidae endemic to the Philippines. Long considered to be monotypic, its members are known as miniature babblers or miniature tit-babblers. As the scientific as well as the common names indicate, their habitus resembles a diminutive version of the tit-babblers (Macronus). The genus was only described in 1962, upon the description of the first species, which had been collected by collector Manuel Celestino and Godofredo Alcasid, a zoologist at the Philippine National Museum. The genus was formerly placed in the family Timaliidae but a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2012 found that the genus was more closely related to species in the family Cisticolidae.
Pellorneum is a genus of passerine birds in the family Pellorneidae. Some of its species were formerly placed in the genus Trichastoma.
Stachyris is a genus of passerine birds in the Old World babbler family Timaliidae.
