Suthora is a genus of parrotbills in the family Paradoxornithidae.
Taxonomy

The genus Suthora was introduced in 1837 by the English naturalist Brian Houghton Hodgson with the type species as Suthora nipalensis, the black-throated parrotbill.[1][2] The genus name is the Nepalese word for the black-throated parrotbill (Suthora nipalensis).[3] The genus now includes species formerly placed in the genera Neosuthora, Chleuasicus, and Sinosuthora. These genera are now considered as junior synonyms of Suthora based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study by Tianlong Cai and collaborators published in 2019.[4][5]
