Drymodes is a genus of bird in the family Petroicidae. It was traditionally held to have two species, but molecular and behavioural differences led to the split of the New Guinea populations from the northern scrub robin. The paper by Les Christidis and colleagues was published in 2011 and the IOC adopted the split in 2015:[1]
Species
The genus contains the following three species:
- Southern scrub robin (Drymodes brunneopygia)
- Northern scrub robin (Drymodes superciliaris)
- Papuan scrub robin (Drymodes beccarii)
