Drymodes is a genus of birds in the family Petroicidae.

The paper by Les Christidis and colleagues was published in 2011 and the IOC adopted the split in 2015:{{cite journal|author=Christidis, L|author2=Irestedt, M|author3=Rowe, D|author4=Boles, W E|author5=Norman, J A|name-list-style=amp|date=2011|title= Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA phylogenies reveal a complex evolutionary history in the Australasian robins (Passeriformes: Petroicidae)|journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution| doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2011.08.014 | url=http://www.nrm.se/download/18.632e8fa71321f81e5f280004641/Christidis+et+al.+MPEV+2011+Petroicidae.pdf|volume=61|issue=3 |pages=726–738|pmid=21867765|bibcode=2011MolPE..61..726C }}
