Tetraophasis is a genus of Galliformes in the family Phasianidae, which includes chickens, pheasants, partridges, grouse, turkeys, quail, and peafowl.

It contains the following species:[1] The name Tetraophasis is a combination of the genus name Tetrao (the name Carl Linnaeus gave grouse in 1758), and the modern Latin word phasis, meaning "pheasant".

Like monals they dig in alpine biomes for tubers, rhizomes and invertebrates as well as rodent pups and voles.

Monal-partridges are important prey species for raptors, owls and yellow-throated martens.

The female incubates the eggs until the last 48, hours when the male may take over the nighttime nest brooding.
