Genera
Alethe
The Alethes are small mainly insectivorous in the genus Alethe of the Old World flycatcher and chat family Muscicapidae. The genus is one of many chats moved from the thrush family to the flycatchers. [more]
Brachypteryx
The shortwings are colorful medium-sized mostly insectivorous in the genera Brachypteryx of the thrush family Turdidae. In addition to these another species, the Great Shortwing, Heinrichia calligyna, is known as a shortwing. [more]
Cataponera
The Sulawesi Thrush (Cataponera turdoides) is a species of in the Turdidae family. It is monotypic within the genus Cataponera. It is endemic to Indonesia. [more]
Catharus
Catharus is a of birds in the thrush family Turdidae. It contains the small, mostly insectivorous or omnivorous migrant thrushes of North America and the nightingale-thrushes of Central and South America. Its closest relative is the Wood Thrush of the monotypic genus Hylocichla (Winker & Pruett, 2006) which is sometimes merged into Catharus. [more]
Chlamydochaera
The Black-breasted Fruit-hunter (Chlamydochaera jefferyi) is an enigmatic species of nowadays placed with the typical thrushes in the family Turdidae. It is endemic to forests on the south-east Asian island Borneo. [more]
Cichlherminia
The Forest Thrush (Cichlherminia lherminieri) is a species of in the Turdidae family. It is monotypic within the genus Cichlherminia. It is found in Dominica, Guadeloupe, Montserrat, and Saint Lucia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montanes. It is threatened by habitat loss. [more]
Cichlopsis
The Rufous-brown Solitaire (Cichlopsis leucogenys) is a species of in the Turdidae family. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montanes. [more]

Entomodestes is a small genus of in the thrush family. The two species are: [more]
Geomalia
The Geomalia, Geomalia heinrichi also known as the Sulawesi Mountain-Thrush is a rare member of the family endemic to Sulawesi in Indonesia. It is the only species in its monotypic genus. [more]
Heinrichia
The Great Shortwing (Heinrichia calligyna) is a species of in the Turdidae family. It is endemic to Indonesia. [more]
Monticola
The rock-thrushes, Monticola, are a of chats, medium-sized mostly insectivorous or omnivorous songbirds. They were in former times placed in the thrush family Turdidae but actually belong in the closely related Muscicapidae. All are Old World birds associated with mountainous regions. [more]
Myadestes
Myadestes is a genus of , medium-sized mostly insectivorous birds in the thrush family Turdidae. [more]
Myiophonus
The whistling-thrushes comprise a Myophonus (Myiophoneus) of the thrush family Turdidae. [more]
Neocossyphus
The flycatcher-thrushes are medium-sized insectivorous in the genus Neocossyphus of the thrush family Turdidae. Two species are commonly called "ant-thrushes"; these should not be confused with the antthrushes of the suboscine family Formicariidae, which are only very distantly related. [more]
Nesocichla
The Tristan Thrush (Nesocichla eremita) is a species of in the Turdidae family. It is monotypic within the genus Nesocichla. It is endemic to Saint Helena. [more]
Platycichla
Platycichla is a small genus of tropical thrushes. It contains just two species: [more]
Pseudocossyphus
The rock-thrushes, Monticola, are a of chats, medium-sized mostly insectivorous or omnivorous songbirds. They were in former times placed in the thrush family Turdidae but actually belong in the closely related Muscicapidae. All are Old World birds associated with mountainous regions. [more]
Psophocichla
The Groundscraper Thrush (Psophocichla litsitsirupa) is a bird of southern and eastern Africa belonging to the thrush family Turdidae. It is the only member of the genus Psophocichla. [more]
Sialia
The bluebirds are a group of medium-sized, mostly insectivorous or omnivorous in the genus Sialia of the thrush family (Turdidae). Bluebirds are one of the few thrush genera in the Americas. They have blue, or blue and red, plumage. Female birds are less brightly colored than males, although color patterns are similar and there is no noticeable difference in size between sexes. [more]
Turdus
The true thrushes are medium-sized mostly insectivorous or omnivorous in the genus Turdus of the thrush family Turdidae. [more]
Zoothera
The Asian thrushes are medium-sized mostly insectivorous or omnivorous in the genus Zoothera of the thrush family Turdidae. [more]
At least 90 species and subspecies belong to the Genus Zoothera.
