Pachycephalinae

The Pachycephalinae are a subfamily of Sibley and Monroe's Corvidae. The other subfamilies in East Asia are the Corvinae (jays, crows, etc.), the Dicrurinae (drongoes, fantails, etc.), the Aegithininae (ioras), and the Malaconotinae (wood shrikes). Under Howard-Moore, Pachycephalidae are a separate family.

In Japanese, the name of the subfamily is sometimes seen as フエドリ亜科 Fue-dori a-ka ('whistling birds') sometimes as モズヒタキ亜科 Mozu-hitaki a-ka ('shrike flycatchers')

Chinese: Not found in China. The Pachycephalinae are known as 厚头啸鹟 hòu-tóu xiāo-wēng 'thick-headed whistling-flycatcher' or simply 啸鹟 xiāo-wēng 'whistling-flycatcher'.

Japanese: The Pachycephalinae are not found in Japan.

The Japanese name for members of the genus Pachycephala is モズヒタキ mozu-hitaki ('shrike flycatcher'), written 百舌鳥鶲 or 鵙鶲 in Chinese characters.

Vietnamese: The Mangrove whistler (Pachycephala grisola) is known as Bách thanh lưng nâu 'brown-backed shrike'. (See shrikes)
