The large woodshrike (Tephrodornis virgatus) is found in south-eastern Asia, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. Its natural habitats are temperate forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Formerly, the woodshrikes were sometimes placed in the cuckooshrike family, Campephagidae. The Malabar woodshrike is sometimes considered conspecific with the large woodshrike.
