Genera

[ Back to top ]

Basileuterus

Basileuterus is a genus of , best represented in Central and South America. This is one of only two warbler genera that are well represented in the latter continent. It is likely that the ancestors of this genus colonised South America from the family’s heartland in northern Central America even before the two continents were linked, and subsequent speciation provided most of the resident warbler species of that region.

Cardellina

The Red-faced Warbler (Cardellina rubrifrons) is a species of . [more]

Catharopeza

The Whistling Warbler (Catharopeza bishopi) is a species of in the Parulidae family. It is monotypic within the genus Catharopeza. It is endemic to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. [more]

Dendroica

Dendroica is a genus of of the New World Warbler family Parulidae. It contains 29 species. The males in breeding plumage are often highly colorful. The Dendroica warblers are an example of adaptive radiation with the various species using different feeding techniques and often feeding in different parts of the same tree. [more]

Ergaticus

Ergaticus is a genus of endemic to Mexico and Guatemala. [more]

Euthlypis

The Fan-tailed Warbler, Euthlypis lachrymosa , is an in the monotypic genus Euthlypis that lives along the Pacific slope from northern Mexico to Nicaragua. There are a few unconfirmed reports of it occurring within the USA: one was reported in Big Bend National Park, Texas in August 2007. It is yellow on its throat and underparts with a tawny wash on its chest. The head is gray with a black-framed yellow crown and white around the eyes. The undertail coverlets are white. They are 5.8-6.3 in (14.5-16 cm) long and have pleasant, upslurred song. Fan-tailed Warblers live in and at the edge of evergreen and semideciduous forest, especially near ravines. They eat ants, especially army ants, and are seen hopping around on either the forest floor or close to it. They are found alone or in pairs. [more]

Geothlypis

The yellowthroats are in the genus Geothlypis. Most members of the group have localised ranges in Mexico and Central America, but the Masked Yellowthroat has an extensive South American distribution, and Common Yellowthroat, the only migratory species in the group, breeds over much of North America. [more]

Granatellus

Granatellus is a genus of traditionally placed in the family Parulidae, although biochemical evidence suggests it belongs in Cardinalidae. [more]

Helmitheros

The Worm-eating Warbler (Helmitheros vermivorus) is a small . It is the only species classified in the genus Helmitheros. [more]

Icteria

The Yellow-breasted Chat (Icteria virens) is a large , formerly considered the most atypical member of the New World warbler family, though the long-standing suspicion is that it does not actually belong there. Its placement is not definitely resolved. It is the only member of the genus Icteria. Found throughout North America, from southern-plains Canada to central Mexico during the summer, these birds mainly migrate to Mexico and Central America, although some of their number may overwinter in coastal areas. [more]

Leucopeza

The Semper's Warbler (Leucopeza semperi) is an extremely rare or possibly extinct which is endemic to Saint Lucia. [more]

Limnothlypis

Swainson's Warbler, Limnothlypis swainsonii, is a small of New World warbler. It is monotypic, the only member of the genus Limnothlypis. [more]

Microligea

The Green-tailed Warbler (Microligea palustris), also known as the Green-tailed Ground Warbler, is a species of endemic to the island of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti) and adjacent islets. [more]

Mniotilta

The Black-and-white Warbler, Mniotilta varia, is a small . It breeds in northern and eastern North America from southern Canada to Florida. [more]

Myioborus

The whitestarts are in the genus Myioborus. The English name refers to the white outer tail feathers which are a prominent feature of the members of this genus (“start” is an archaic word for “tail”). Confusingly, most species are usually named as “redstarts”, and these less accurate, but more familiar names (to birders in Central and North America, while Whitestart has gained wider use in South America), are retained in the species list below. [more]

Oporornis

Oporornis is a small genus of which breed in North America. They are migratory, wintering south of their breeding ranges in Central or South America. [more]
