Aegithininae

The Aegithininae (ioras) are a subfamily of the Corvidae. Other subfamilies in East Asia are the Cinclosomatinae, the Pachycephalinae, the Corvinae (crows, jays, etc.), the Dicrurinae (drongoes, fantails, etc.), and the Maloconotinae (wood shrikes).

Chinese: The ioras are known as 雀鹎 què-bēi ('sparrow/finch bulbuls') in Chinese.

Japanese: Not found in Japan. The Japanese name for the ioras is ヒメコノハドリ hime konoha-dori ('princess leaf-bird'), written 姫木の葉鳥.

Vietnamese: In Vietnamese, the ioras are known as Chim nghệ or 'saffron birds'.

The distribution of the Agithininae in East Asia can be found at Tzung-Su Ding's Distribution of Dicrurinae in East Asia.

The Japanese name reflects the traditional (pre-Sibley & Monroe) grouping with the leafbirds.

The Chinese name is not directly connected with the leafbirds, but does share a common naming connected with the bulbuls (the leafbirds are known as 叶鹎 yè-bēi or 'leaf bulbuls' in Chinese).

In Vietnam, where the ioras are a local species, there is a common name (Chim nghệ) unconnected with the leafbirds.
