Chrysomma is a songbird genus. It is quite closely related to the parrotbills, and is therefore a member of the family Paradoxornithidae.
The genus Chrysomma was introduced in 1843 by the English zoologist Edward Blyth. He designated the type species as Timalia hypoleuca Franklin 1831. [1] This taxon is now one of subspecies of the yellow-eyed babbler. [2] [3] [4] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek khrusos meaning "gold" and omma meaning "eye". [5]
The genus contains two species: [4]

Old World warblers are a large group of birds formerly grouped together in the bird family Sylviidae. They are not closely related to the New World warblers. The family held over 400 species in over 70 genera, and were the source of much taxonomic confusion. Two families were split out initially, the cisticolas into Cisticolidae and the kinglets into Regulidae. In the past ten years they have been the subject of much research and many species are now placed into other families, including the Acrocephalidae, Cettiidae, Phylloscopidae, and Megaluridae. In addition some species have been moved into existing families or have not yet had their placement fully resolved. A smaller number of warblers, together with some babblers formerly placed in the family Timaliidae and the parrotbills, are retained in a much smaller family Sylviidae.
