Iranocichla View in CoL

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 .
