Pellorneum is a genus of passerine birds in the family Pellorneidae. Some of its species were formerly placed in the genus Trichastoma.
The genus Pellorneum was introduced in 1832 by the English naturalist William Swainson with Pellorneum ruficeps, the puff-throated babbler, as the type species.[1][2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek pellos meaning "dark-coloured" with orneon meaning "bird".[3]
The genus contains the following 18 species:[4]
