Tephrodornis is a bird genus in the family Vangidae.
The genus Tephrodornis was introduced in 1832 by the English naturalist William Swainson with the large woodshrike as the type species. [1] [2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek tephōdēs meaning "like ashes" or "ash-coloured" with ornis meaning "bird". [3]
The genus contains four species: [4]
- Large woodshrike, Tephrodornis virgatus
- Malabar woodshrike, Tephrodornis sylvicola
- Common woodshrike, Tephrodornis pondicerianus
- Sri Lanka woodshrike, Tephrodornis affinis
