Genera
Abroscopus
Abroscopus is a small genus of "warbler" in the family Cettiidae, formerly included in the Sylviidae. [more]
Eremomela
Eremomela is a genus of passerines in the family. It contains the following species: [more]
Graueria
Grauer's Warbler (Graueria vittata) is a species of Old World warbler in the Sylviidae family. It is found in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda. [more]
Phylloscopus
Leaf-warblers are small insectivorous birds belonging mainly to the genus Phylloscopus. They were formerly included in the Old World warbler family but are now considered to belong to the Phylloscopidae, a family created in 2006. The genus is closely related to Seicercus and some species have been moved between the two genera in recent classification attempts. Leaf-warblers are active, constantly moving, often flicking their wings as they glean the foliage for insects along the branches of trees and bushes. They forage at various levels within forests, from the top canopy to the understorey. Most of the species are markedly territorial both in their summer and winter quarters. [more]
Seicercus
Seicercus is a genus of Old World warbler formerly in the Sylviidae family but now placed in Phylloscopidae. The genus is distributed in the Indian Subcontinent and eastern Asia from northern China to Timor in the Lesser Sundas. Many of the more northerly species are migratory, breeding in temperate climates and wintering in the tropics; others are attitudinal migrants, moving down from the mountains in the winter. A few species are migratory over part of their range and resident in others. [more]
Sylvietta
Sylvietta, the crombecs, is a genus of African warblers. Formerly placed in the massively paraphyletic Sylviidae, it is now considered to belong to a newly-recognized family found only in Africa, Macrosphenidae. [more]
Tickellia
The Broad-billed Warbler (Tickellia hodgsoni) is a species of bush warbler (family Cettiidae). It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage, and belongs to the monotypic genus Tickellia. [more]
