The Great Parrotbill (Conostoma oemodium) is a bird species often placed with the Old World babblers (family Timaliidae) or in a distinct family Paradoxornithidae, but it actually seems to belong to the Sylviidae. Its genus Conostoma is monotypic.[citation needed]
It is found in Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, and Nepal.
