The black-throated parrotbill is a montane species of the central and eastern Himalayas and neighboring Southeast Asia. Its documented range includes Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, northeastern India, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. It inhabits subtropical or tropical moist mountain forest. Although previously associated with Old World babblers or placed in Sylviidae, the opened source assigns it to the distinct parrotbill family Paradoxornithidae and recognizes Paradoxornis nipalensis as a synonym.
