Pyrrholaemus is a genus of birds in the family Acanthizidae.
The genus was introduced by the English ornithologist and bird artist John Gould in 1841.[1][2] The name Pyrrholaemus is from classical Greek purrhos meaning "flame-coloured" or "red" and laimos for "throat".[3]
The genus contains two species:[4]
- Redthroat (Pyrrholaemus brunneus)
- Speckled warbler (Pyrrholaemus sagittatus)
