[edit]The genus was erected by the English zoologistRobert Swinhoein 1868 with theplain laughingthrush(Pterorhinus davidi) as thetype species.[1]The name of the genus combines theAncient Greekpteronmeaning "feather" withrhinosmeaning "nostrils".[2]
Thesespecieswere at one time placed inGarrulaxbut following the publication of amolecular phylogeneticstudy in 2018,Garrulaxwas split up and some of the species were moved to the resurrected genusPterorhinus.At the same time, the four species previously placed inBabaxwere moved here.[3][4]
