Thespecific namekomadori is, somewhat confusingly, the common name of its relative theJapanese robin inJapanese.
The Ryukyu robin, together with theJapanese robin and theEuropean robin, was previously placed in thegenusErithacus . A 2006molecular phylogenetic study found that the two east Asian species were more similar to theSiberian blue robin, at the time inLuscinia, than to the European robin.[4] In 2010, a large study confirmed this result and also found thatLuscinia wasnon-monophyletic. The genusLarvivora was therefore resurrected to accommodate aclade containing the Japanese robin, the Ryukyu robin, the Siberian blue robin and several other species that had previously been placed inLuscinia.[5][6]
