The genus '''''Perisoreus''''' is a very small genus of [[jay]]s from the [[Boreal ecosystem|Boreal]] regions of North America and [[Eurasia]] from [[Scandinavia]] to the Asian seaboard. An isolated species also occurs in north-western [[Sichuan]] of China. They belong to the [[Passerine]] order of birds in the family [[Corvidae]]. Species of ''Perisoreus'' jays are most closely related to the genus ''[[Cyanopica]]''.<ref name=Ericson>{{cite journal |last1=Ericson |first1=Per G.

The genus was introduced by the French zoologist [[Charles Lucien Bonaparte]] in 1831.<ref>{{ cite journal | last=Bonaparte  | first=Charles Lucien | author-link=Charles Lucien Bonaparte | year=1831 | title=Saggio di una distribuzione metodica degli Animali Vertebrati di Carlo Luciano Bonaparte principe di Musignano | journal=Giornale Arcadico di Scienze, Lettre ed Arti | volume=49 | pages=3–77 [42] | url=https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/10034645 }}</ref> The [[type species]] was subsequently designated as the Canada jay.<ref>{{ cite book | editor1-last=Mayr | editor1-first=Ernst | editor1-link=Ernst Mayr  | editor2-last=Greenway | editor2-first=James C.
