Arizelocichla is a genus of greenbuls, songbirds in the bulbul family (Pycnonotidae). The genus was revived in 2010 when twelve species of bulbuls from the genus Andropadus were separated and re-classified in the genus Arizelocichla.
==Taxonomy== A molecular phylogenetic study of the bulbuls published in 2007 found that the genus Andropadus was polyphyletic. As part of a reorganization to create monophyletic genera, 12 species from Andropadus were moved to the resurrected genus Arizelocichla that had been introduced in 1905 by the American ornithologist Harry C. Oberholser with the black-headed mountain greenbul as the type species. The name Arizelocichla combines the Ancient Greek arizēlos meaning "conspicuous" or "admirable" with kikhlē meaning "thrush".
