Tregellasia is a genus of birds in the family Petroicidae that are found in Australia and New Guinea.
The genus was introduced by the Australian ornithologist Gregory Mathews in 1912 with the pale-yellow robin (Tregellasia capito) as the type species.[2] The genus name was chosen to honour the Australian field ornithologist Thomas Henry Tregellas (1864-1938).[3]
