Iranocichla View in CoL is a genus comprising two species, both of which are highly similar. Iranocichla is endemic to Iran, and it was previously hypothesised that it is closely related to Danakilia , a genus with two species from Ethiopia and Eritrea.
However, molecular data does not support this hypothesis; Iranocichla is close to Tristramella . Further reading. Steinitz & Ben-Tuvia 1960 (revision of genus); Dunz & Schliewen 2013 (phylogeny); Esmaeili et al. 2016b (review); Schwarzer et al. 2016 (phylogeny of populations).
