Formerly in the paraphyletic Old World warbler assemblage, they are now separated as the namesake of the marsh- and tree-warbler family Acrocephalidae. They are sometimes called marsh-warblers or reed-warblers, but this invites confusion with Marsh Warbler and Reed Warbler proper, especially in North America where it is common to use lower case for bird species.

Formerly placed in the family Sylviidae, appears to be close to the Motacillidae, though its relationships currently are unclear. It is endemic to the southern and western parts of the island of S?o Tom?. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. This species has a small population and is threatened by habitat loss. [more]

Tesia

The tesias are a genus, Tesia, of Old World warbler. The genus was once included in the large family Sylviidae but recent research placed it within the new family Cettiidae. The genus has a discontinuous distribution in East and South East Asia. The three northern species range widely across southern China, Burma, Northern Thailand and Laos and into India, southern Nepal and Vietnam; whereas the other two species are found in Java and the Lesser Sundas in southern Indonesia. One species of tesia, the Chestnut-headed Tesia, which occupies the northern area of the genus' range, is sometimes split into the genus Oligura. The Russet-capped Tesia was once considered to be a race of the Timor Stubtail, Urosphena subulata. The three northern species are sometimes known as ground-warblers. [more]
