"Sittiparus" is a genus of birds in the tit family that is recognized by some authorities, such as the "Handbook of the Birds of the World"'s Internet Bird Collection (2004–2007). It is often considered part of the genus "Poecile", which many authorities in turn consider to be a subgenus of "Parus". The following two Far Eastern species have been placed in it:
* Varied Tit, " Sittiparus varia"
* White-fronted Tit, " Sittiparus semilarvata" The subspecies Daito Varied Tit, " S. v. orii", became extinct in the 1940s, the only tit to have done so.
