Trochalopteron is a genus of bird in the Leiothrichidae family.[1] It contains the following 19 species:[2]

Two species that were formerly included in this genus have been moved to Montecincla based on phylogenetic studies that showed them to be more distantly related to the Trochalopteron clade than to a clade formed by species in the genera Leiothrix, Actinodura, Minla, Crocias and Heterophasia.[3]
