Aegithalos is a genus of passerine birds in the family Aegithalidae (bushtits), encompassing majority of the species in the family.
==Taxonomy== The genus Aegithalos was introduced in 1804 by the French naturalist Johann Hermann to accommodate a single species, Pipra europaea Hermann, 1804. This is a junior synonym of Parus caudatus Linnaeus, 1758, the long-tailed tit. The genus name is a term used by Aristotle for some European tits, including the long-tailed tit.
