Abstract: The barwings (genus Actinodura Gould, 1836) are a small group of little-studied babblers defined by the presence of transverse barring on the remiges and rectrices and a crest (Gould 1836). The genus is composed of 7 recognized species: the Rusty-fronted Barwing A. egertoni, Spectacled Barwing A. ramsayi, Black-crowned Barwing A. sodangorum, Hoary-throated Barwing A. nipalensis, Streak-throated Barwing A. waldeni, Streaked Barwing A. souliei, and Taiwan Barwing A. morrisoniana (Dickinson 2003, Collar and Robson 2007). The distribution of these species ranges from southwestern China to southern Myanmar and from the Central Himalayas to western Tokin and Taiwan (Fig. 1).
