The '''Ryukyu robin''' (''ErithacusLarvivora komadori'') is a bird [[endemic]] to the [[Ryūkyū Islands]], of [[Japan]].<ref>{{cite book|editors=Collar, N. J.; Andreev, A. V.; Chan, S.; Crosby, M.

The [[specific name (zoology)|specific name]] ''komadori'' is, somewhat confusingly, the common name of its relative the [[Japanese robin]] in [[Japanese language|Japanese]].

The Ryukyu robin, together with the [[Japanese robin]] and the [[European robin]], was previously placed in the [[genus]] ''[[Erithacus]]'' . A 2006 [[molecular phylogenetic]] study found that the two east Asian species were more similar to the [[Siberian blue robin]], at the time in ''[[Luscinia]]'', than to the European robin.<ref>{{ cite journal | last =Seki | first =Shin-Ichi| year =2006| title =The origin of the East Asian ''Erithacus'' robin, ''Erithacus komadori'', inferred from cytochrome ''b'' sequence data | journal = Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution| volume =39 | issue =3 | pages =899–905 | doi = 10.1016/j.ympev.2006.01.028 | pmid =16529957}}</ref> In 2010 a large study confirmed this result and also found that ''Luscinia'' was [[monophyletic|non-monophyletic]]. The genus ''[[Larvivora]]'' was therefore resurrected to accommodate a [[clade]] containing the Japanese robin, the Ryukyu robin, the Siberian blue robin and several other species that had previously been placed in ''Luscinia''.<ref>{{ cite journal | last1=Sangster | first1=G. | last2=Alström | first2=P. | last3=Forsmark | first3=E. | last4=Olsson | first4=U. | year=2010 | title=Multi-locus phylogenetic analysis of Old World chats and flycatcher reveals extensive paraphyly at family, subfamily and genus level (Aves: Muscicapidae) | journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution | volume=57 | issue=1 | pages=380-392 | doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2010.07.008 }}</ref><ref name=ioc>{{cite web| editor1-last=Gill | editor1-first=Frank | editor2-last=Donsker | editor2-first=David | year=2016 | title=Chats, Old World flycatchers | work=World Bird List Version 6.2 | url=http://www.worldbirdnames.org/bow/chats/ | publisher=International Ornithologists' Union| accessdate=20 May 2016 }}</ref>
