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]
- Spotted laughingthrush, Ianthocincla ocellata
- Giant laughingthrush, Ianthocincla maxima
- Barred laughingthrush, Ianthocincla lunulata
- White-speckled laughingthrush, Ianthocincla bieti
- Snowy-cheeked laughingthrush, Ianthocincla sukatschewi
- Moustached laughingthrush, Ianthocincla cineracea
- Rufous-chinned laughingthrush, Ianthocincla rufogularis
