The silver-throated bushtit or silver-throated tit (Aegithalos glaucogularis) is a species of bird in the family Aegithalidae. It is widely spread throughout central and eastern China and south towards Yunnan. Its natural habitat is temperate forests.
Bird
A paper on the silver-throated bushtit by the English naturalist Frederic Moore was read at a meeting of the Zoological Society of London on 27 June 1854.[2] The English ornithologist John Gould then included the silver-throated bushtit in his book The Birds of Asia and cited Moore's paper. Gould used Moore's specific name but a different genus to obtain the binomial name Mecistura glaucogularis. He specified the type locality as Shanghai.[3] As Gould's work appeared in print in 1855 before the publication of the proceedings of the Zoological Society, under the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature Gould's publication has priority.[4] The name glaucogularis combines the Latin glaucus "glaucous" and the New Latin gularis "throated".[5]
The silver-throated bushtit was formerly considered a subspecies of the long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus) but the plumage is distinctive and there are significant genetic differences.[6][7]
Two subspecies are recognised:[8]
A. g. vinaceus (Verreaux, J, 1871) – central and northeast China
A. g. glaucogularis (Gould, 1855) – east central China
