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

Taxonomy

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]

Species

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]
