Cyanoderma is a genus of passerine birds in the Old World babbler family Timaliidae. Many of these species were formerly placed in the genus Stachyris
A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2012 found that the genus Stachyris was paraphyletic. In the subsequent reorganization to create monophyletic genera, the genus Cyanoderma was resurrected to accommodate a group of species formerly assigned to Stachyris. [1] [2] The genus Cyanoderma had been introduced in 1874 by the Italian zoologist Tommaso Salvadori with chestnut-winged babbler as the type species. [3] [4] The name combines the Ancient Greek kuanos meaning "dark-blue" with derma meaning "skin". [5]
The genus contains the following species: [2]
Image | Common Name | Scientific name | Distribution |
---|---|---|---|
Chestnut-winged babbler | Cyanoderma erythropterum | Malay Peninsula, Sumatra | |
Grey-hooded babbler [6] | Cyanoderma bicolor | Borneo | |
Crescent-chested babbler | Cyanoderma melanothorax | Java and Bali | |
Rufous-fronted babbler | Cyanoderma rufifrons | Sikkim, Bhutan Dooars and northeast India | |
Rufous-capped babbler | Cyanoderma ruficeps | Eastern Himalayas to northern Thailand, Laos, eastern China to Vietnam and Taiwan | |
Black-chinned babbler | Cyanoderma pyrrhops | the Himalayas from the Murree Hills in Pakistan to eastern Nepal | |
Golden babbler | Cyanoderma chrysaeum | the Eastern Himalayas to Southeast Asia | |
Buff-chested babbler | Cyanoderma ambiguum | Eastern Himalayas to south Laos |
Deignan's babbler Cyanoderma rodolphei collected in 1939 at Doi Chiang Dao in Thailand is considered synonymous with the rufous-fronted babbler. [7]
