Stachyris is a genus of passerine birds in the Old World babbler family, Timaliidae.

Taxonomy

The genus Stachyris was introduced in 1844 in an article by the English zoologist Edward Blyth in which he quotes a diagnosis by Brian Houghton Hodgson. Hodgson designated the type species as the grey-throated babbler.[1][2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek stakhus, meaning "ear of wheat" and rhis, rhinos, meaning "nostrils".[3]
