The barwings are the genus Actinodura of passerine birds in the family Leiothrichidae. They are found in the hills of Southern Asia, from Eastern India to China and Taiwan.
Taxonomy
The genus Actinodura was introduced in 1836 by the English ornithologist John Gould with Actinodura egertoni Gould 1836, the rusty-fronted barwing, as the type species.[1][2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ακτινωδης/aktinōdēs meaning "like rays" with ουρα/oura meaning "tail".[3]
