Rubigula is a genus of Asian passerine birds in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae.
==Taxonomy== The genus Rubigula was introduced in 1845 by the English zoologist Edward Blyth. The type species was designated as the ruby-throated bulbul by George Robert Gray in 1855. The name combines the Medieval Latin rubinus meaning "ruby" with Latin gula meaning "throat".
