'''''Argya''''' is a [[genus]] of [[passerine]] birds in the family [[Leiothrichidae]].
'''''Argya''''' is a [[genus]] of [[passerine]] birds in the laughingthrush family [[Leiothrichidae]]. The species are distributed across Africa and southern Asia and are typically fairly large, long-tailed birds that forage in noisy groups. Members of this genus were formerly placed in the genera ''[[Turdoides]]'' and ''[[Garrulax]]''.

Most of the species now placed in the genus ''Argya'' were previously assigned to the genus ''[[Turdoides]]''. Following the publication of a [[molecular phylogenetic]] study in 2018, ''Turdoides'' was split and species were moved to the resurrected genus ''Argya'' that had been erected by the French naturalist [[René Lesson]] in 1831.<ref name=cibois>{{ cite journal | last1=Cibois | first1=A. | last2=Gelang | first2=M. | last3=Alström | first3=P. | last4=Pasquet | first4=E. | last5=Fjeldså | first5=J. | last6=Ericson | first6=P.G.P. | last7=Olsson | first7=U. | year=2018 | title=Comprehensive phylogeny of the laughingthrushes and allies (Aves, Leiothrichidae) and a proposal for a revised taxonomy | journal=Zoologica Scripta | volume=47 | issue=4 | pages=428–440 | doi=10.1111/zsc.12296 | s2cid=51883434 }}</ref><ref name=ioc>{{cite web| editor1-last=Gill | editor1-first=Frank | editor1-link=Frank Gill (ornithologist) | editor2-last=Donsker | editor2-first=David | year=2019 | title=Laughingthrushes and allies | work=World Bird List Version 9.1 | url=http://www.worldbirdnames.org/bow/laughingthrushes/ | publisher=International Ornithologists' Union | accessdate=16 January 2019 }}</ref><ref>{{ cite book | last=Lesson | first=René | author-link=René Lesson | year=1831 | title=Traité d'Ornithologie, ou Tableau Méthodique | language=French | place=Paris | publisher=F.G.

Argya is a genus of passerine birds in the laughingthrush family Leiothrichidae. The species are distributed across Africa and southern Asia and are typically fairly large, long-tailed birds that forage in noisy groups. Members of this genus were formerly placed in the genera Turdoides and Garrulax.

Taxonomy

[edit]

Most of the species now placed in the genus Argya were previously assigned to the genus Turdoides. Following the publication of a molecular phylogenetic study in 2018, Turdoides was split and species were moved to the resurrected genus Argya that had been erected by the French naturalist René Lesson in 1831.[2][3][4] The name is from the Latin argutus meaning "noisy".[5] Lesson did not specify a type species but this was designated as the Arabian babbler (Argya squamiceps) by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1855.[6][7]

The following cladogram showing the phylogenetic relationships between the species is based on a study by Alice Cibois and collaborators that was published in 2018. The Iraq babbler (Argya altirostris) and the orange-billed babbler (Argya rufescens) were not included in the study.[2] The Afghan babbler (Argya huttoni) has been split from the common babbler.[3]
