'''''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]]''.<ref>{{Cite journal | last1=Moyle | first1=R.G. | last2=Andersen | first2=M.J. | last3=Oliveros | first3=C.H. | last4=Steinheimer | first4=F.D. | last5=Reddy | first5=S. | date=2012 | title=Phylogeny and biogeography of the core babblers (Aves: Timaliidae) | journal=Systematic Biology | volume=61 | issue=4 | pages=631–651 | doi=10.1093/sysbio/sys027 | pmid=22328569 | doi-access=free }}</ref><ref name=ioc>{{cite web| editor1-last=Gill | editor1-first=Frank | editor1-link=Frank Gill (ornithologist) | editor2-last=Donsker | editor2-first=David | editor3-last=Rasmussen | editor3-first=Pamela | editor3-link=Pamela Rasmussen | date=August 2022 | title=Babblers & fulvettas | work=IOC World Bird List Version 12.2 | url=http://www.worldbirdnames.org/bow/babblers/ | publisher=International Ornithologists' Union | access-date=23 September 2022 }}</ref> The genus ''Cyanoderma'' had been introduced in 1874 by the Italian zoologist [[Tommaso Salvadori]] with [[chestnut-winged babbler]] as the [[type species]].<ref>{{ cite journal | last=Salvadori | first=Tommaso | author-link=Tommaso Salvadori | year=1874 | title=Catalogo sistematico degli uccelli de Borneo | language=Italian, Latin | journal=Annali del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova | volume=5 | pages=1–380 [213] | url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/29877039 }}</ref><ref>{{ cite book | editor1-last=Mayr | editor1-first=Ernst | editor1-link=Ernst Mayr | editor2-last=Paynter | editor2-first=Raymond A.
