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.{{ cite journal | last=Blyth | first=Edward | author-link=Edward Blyth | year=1844 | title=Appendix to Mr. Blyth's report for December Meeting, 1842 (continued) | journal=Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal | volume=13 | issue=149 | pages=361–395 [378; 379] | url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/40057205 }}{{ cite book | editor-last1=Dickinson | editor-first1=E.C. | editor1-link=Edward C.
