}}Crossoptilon is a genus of pheasants in the Phasianidae family. Established by Brian Houghton Hodgson in 1838, the genus contains four species:

Image	Name	Common name
Crossoptilon crossoptilon	White eared pheasant	China, Qinghai, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Tibet
Crossoptilon harmani	Tibetan eared pheasant	southeast Tibet and adjacent northern India
Crossoptilon mantchuricum	Brown eared pheasant	northeastern China (Shanxi and nearby provinces)
Crossoptilon auritum	Blue eared pheasant	central China

The name Crossoptilon is a combination of the Greek words krossoi, meaning "fringe" and ptilon, meaning "feather"— a name Hodgson felt particularly applied to the white eared pheasant “distinguished amongst all its congeners by its ample fringe-like plumage, the dishevelled quality of which is communicated even to the central tail feathers”.^[2] All are large, sexually monomorphic and found in China.^[3]
