The Black-throated Tit is distributed from Pakistan to China and south to Myanmar and Vietnam. It is found in a variety of habitats including broadleaved and mixed forest and secondary growth.

It has a chestnut crown, a black mask and black patch on a white chin. The back and tail are grey while underparts are buffy with rufous flanks. This rather attractive pattern is set off by the white eye.

It is a member of the same genus as the Long-tailed Tit A. caudatus .
