Black-throated Laughingthrush (Pterorhinus chinensis)
About the Black-throated Laughingthrush
The black-throated laughingthrush (Pterorhinus chinensis) is a species of bird in the family Leiothrichidae. It is found in Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, mostly at submontane to montane elevations. The black-throated laughingthrush was described as Lanius (chinensis) by the Italian naturalist Giovanni Antonio Scopoli in 1786 based on specimens from Guangzhou, China. The black-throated laughingthrush was historically placed in the wastebin genus Garrulax, although some authors also placed it in Dryonastes or Ianthocincla. Following the publication of a comprehensive molecular phylogenetic study in 2018, it was moved to the resurrected genus Pterorhinus.
