Suthora is a genus of parrotbills in the family Paradoxornithidae.

The genus Suthora was introduced in 1837 by the English naturalist Brian Houghton Hodgson with the type species as Suthora nipalensis, the black-throated parrotbill.

[1][2] The genus name is the Nepalese word for the black-throated parrotbill (Suthora nipalensis).

[3] The genus now includes species formerly placed in the genera Neosuthora, Chleuasicus, and Sinosuthora.

These genera are now considered as junior synonyms of Suthora based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study by Tianlong Cai and collaborators published in 2019.
