Stachyris is a genus of passerine birds in the Old World babbler family, Timaliidae.

==Taxonomy== The genus Stachyris was introduced in 1844 in an article by the English zoologist Edward Blyth in which he quotes a diagnosis by Brian Houghton Hodgson. Hodgson designated the type species as the grey-throated babbler. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek stakhus, meaning "ear of wheat" and rhis, rhinos, meaning "nostrils".
