About 20, see text Arborophila is a bird genus in the family Phasianidae.

These are fairly small, often brightly marked partridges found in forest of eastern and southern Asia.

[1] Some species in this genus have small ranges, and are threatened by habitat loss and hunting.

The genus Arborophila was introduced in 1837 by the English naturalist Brian Houghton Hodgson to accommodate a single species, the hill partridge, which is therefore the type species.

[1] A. torqueola is always called the hill partridge or common hill-partridge, but in all other species "hill" is often disregarded (for example, A. rufipectus is variously known as the Sichuan hill-partridge or Sichuan partridge).
