Ianthocincla

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. The name of the genus combines the Ancient Greek "ionthos " "young hair" or "down" with the New Latin "cinclus" "thrush". 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".
Species.
The genus contains eight species:
