The black-crowned barwing is a non-migratory bird from Indochina in the family Leiothrichidae. The genus name "Actinodura" is from Ancient Greek meaning "ray-like tail", while the specific epithet "sodangorum" is from the Xo Dang tribe which lives in Ngoc Linh and other areas in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos where black-crowned barwings are found.
