European robin
The genus "Erithacus" previously included the Japanese robin and the Ryukyu robin. These east Asian species were shown in molecular phylogenetic studies to be more similar to a group of other Asian species than to the European robin. In a reorganisation of the genera, the Japanese and the Ryukyu robins were moved to the resurrected genus "Larvivora" leaving the European robin as the sole member of "Erithacus". The phylogenetic analysis placed "Erithacus" in the subfamily Erithacinae, which otherwise contained only African species, but its exact position with respect to the other genera was not resolved.
