see text Eopsaltria is a genus of small forest passerines known in Australia as the yellow robins.

They are inquisitive and bold birds, and have been reported perching on the shoulders or boots of people in the bush.

[3] The ornithologist William Swainson named the genus Eopsaltria in 1832, placing into it the bird that was then known as the yellow-breasted thrush (Pachycephala australis).

Although its plumage resembled that of the white-breasted robin, DNA analysis revealed it should be classified as a member of the New Guinea genus Peneothello.

The yellow-bellied flyrobin (Microeca flaviventris) of New Caledonia was previously classified in this genus as it had similar plumage, but a genetic analysis of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA has placed it in the genus Microeca.
