:''This article is about the Old World chats; see below for other birds called "chats".'' Chats (formerly sometimes known as "chat-thrushes") are a group of small Old World insectivorous birds formerly classified as members of the thrush family Turdidae, but now considered Old World flycatchers. The name is normally applied to the more robust ground-feeding flycatchers found in Europe and Asia and most northern species are strong migrants. There are a large number of genera and these birds in particular make up most of the subfamily Saxicolinae. Other songbirds called "chats" are: * Australian chats, genera ''Ashbyia'' and ''Epthianura'' of the honeyeater family (Meliphagidae). They belong to a more ancient lineage than Saxicolinae. * American chats, genus ''Granatellus'' of the cardinal family (Cardinalidae), formerly placed in the wood-warbler family. They belong to a more modern lineage than Saxicolinae. * Yellow-breasted chat (''Icteria virens''), an enigmatic North American songbird tentatively placed in the wood-warbler family (Parulidae); its true relationships are unresolved. ==Species in taxonomic order== * Subfamily Saxicolinae * * Genus ''Tarsiger'' - bush-robins * * * Red-flanked bluetail or orange-flanked bush-robin, ''Tarsiger cyanurus'' * * * Golden bush robin, ''Tarsiger chrysaeus'' * * * White-browed bush robin, ''Tarsiger indicus'' * * * Rufous-breasted bush robin, ''Tarsiger hyperythrus'' * * * Collared bush robin, ''Tarsiger johnstoniae'' * * Genus ''Luscinia'' (11 species) - paraphyletic * * Genus ''Erithacus'' - robins * * Genus ''Irania'' - white-throated robin * * Genus ''Saxicola'' - bushchats and stonechats (c. 15 species) * * Genus ''Pogonocichla'' * * * White-starred robin, ''Pogonocichla stellata'' * * Genus ''Swynnertonia'' * * * Swynnerton's robin, ''Swynnertonia swynnertoni'' * * Genus ''Stiphrornis'' - forest robins (1-5 species, depending on taxonomy) * * Genus ''Xenocopsychus'' * * * Angolan cave chat, ''Xenocopsychus ansorgei'' * * Genus ''Saxicoloides'' - Indian robin * * Genus ''Cinclidium'' * * * White-tailed robin, ''Cinclidium leucurum'' * * * Sunda robin, ''Cinclidium diana'' * * * Blue-fronted robin, ''Cinclidium frontale'' * * Genus ''Grandala'' * * * Grandala, ''Grandala coelicolor'' * * Genus ''Namibornis'' * * * Herero chat, ''Namibornis herero'' * * Genus ''Cercomela'' * * * Sickle-winged chat, ''Cercomela sinuata'' * * * Karoo chat, ''Cercomela schlegelii'' * * * Tractrac chat, ''Cercomela tractrac'' * * * Familiar chat, ''Cercomela familiaris'' * * * Brown-tailed rock chat, ''Cercomela scotocerca'' * * * Indian chat, ''Cercomela fusca'' * * * Sombre rock chat, ''Cercomela dubia'' * * * Blackstart, ''Cercomela melanura'' * * * Moorland chat, ''Cercomela sordida'' * * Genus ''Myrmecocichla'' * * * Congo moorchat, ''Myrmecocichla tholloni'' * * * Anteater chat, ''Myrmecocichla aethiops'' * * * Southern anteater-chat, ''Myrmecocichla formicivora'' * * * Sooty chat, ''Myrmecocichla nigra'' * * * Rüppell's black chat, ''Myrmecocichla melaena'' * * * White-fronted black chat, ''Myrmecocichla albifrons'' * * * White-headed black-chat, ''Myrmecocichla arnotti'' * * Genus ''Thamnolaea'' - cliff chats * * * Mocking cliff chat, ''Thamnolaea cinnamomeiventris'' * * * White-winged cliff chat, ''Thamnolaea semirufa'' * * Genus ''Pinarornis'' * * * Boulder chat ''Pinarornis plumosus'' Saxicolinae genera not usually called "chats" are: * Genus ''Sheppardia'' - akalats (9 species) * Genus ''Cossyphicula'' - white-bellied robin-chat - may belong in ''Cossypha'' * Genus ''Cossypha'' - robin-chats (14 species) * Genus ''Cichladusa'' - palm-thrushes (3 species) * Genus ''Cercotrichas'' - scrub-robins or bush-chats (11 species) * Genus ''Myophonus'', whistling thrushes * Genus ''Copsychus'' - magpie-robins or shamas (7 species) * Genus ''Phoenicurus'' - true redstarts (11 species) * Genus ''Enicurus'' - forktails (7 species) * Genus ''Cochoa'' - cochoas (4 species) * Genus ''Brachypteryx'' - (4 species) * Genus ''Heinrichia'' - great shortwing * Genus ''Leonardina'' - Bagabo babbler * Genus ''Oenanthe'' - wheatears (some 20 species) * Genus ''Trichixos'' - rufous-tailed shama Aberrant redstarts, possibly belonging in this subfamily: * Genus ''Chaimarrornis'' - white-capped redstart * Genus ''Rhyacornis'' (2 species) * Genus ''Hodgsonius'' - white-bellied redstart 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chat (bird)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
