Suthora is a genus of parrotbills in the family Paradoxornithidae.
Taxonomy
[edit]The genus Suthora was introduced in 1837 by the English naturalist Brian Houghton Hodgson with the type species as Suthora nipalensis, the black-throated parrotbill.[1][2] The genus name is the Nepalese word for the black-throated parrotbill (Suthora nipalensis).[3] The genus now includes species formerly placed in the genera Neosuthora, Chleuasicus, and Sinosuthora. These genera are now considered as junior synonyms of Suthora based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study by Tianlong Cai and collaborators published in 2019.[4][5]
