Illadopsis (from illas, Greek for thrush and opsis, appearing). All are found in tropical Africa, where they frequent the lower strata of forests, and reveal themselves mostly by their whistled call notes.
==Taxonomy== The genus Illadopsis was introduced in 1860 by the German ornithologist Ferdinand Heine to accommodate a single species, Turdirostris fulvescens Cassin, 1859, the brown illadopsis. This is the type species by monotypy. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ιλλας/illas, ιλλαδος/illados meaning "thrush" with οψις/opsis meaning "appearance".
