Prinia is a genus of small insectivorous birds belonging to the passerine bird family Cisticolidae. They were at one time classed in the Old World warbler family, Sylviidae.
The dusky fulvetta is a species of bird in the family Pellorneidae. It is found in China and Taiwan. Its natural habitats are temperate forest and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest.
The yellow-throated fulvetta is a species of bird in the family Pellorneidae. Its common name is misleading, because it is not a close relative of the "typical" fulvettas, which are now in the family Paradoxornithidae.
The white-hooded babbler is a species of bird in the family Pellorneidae.
Gampsorhynchus is a genus of birds in the family Pellorneidae.
Illadopsis is a genus of secretive forest birds in the family Pellorneidae. All are found in tropical Africa, where they frequent the lower strata of forests, and reveal themselves mostly by their whistled call notes. The genus contains the following species:
The short-tailed scimitar babbler is a species of bird in the family Pellorneidae. It is found in Laos and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss. The Naung Mung scimitar babbler was formerly considered a distinct species, but is now considered conspecific.
The striped wren-babbler is a species of bird in the family Pellorneidae. It is monotypic within the genus Kenopia. It is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical swampland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Malacocincla is a genus of passerine birds in the family Pellorneidae. The type species for this genus is M. abbotti, and a 2012 study shows that members of the genus Malacocincla as defined earlier fall into multiple clades and are therefore polyphyletic. M. abbotti and M. sepiaria remain within a common clade and could be retained in the genus if generic reassignments occur. This clade is a sister of the genus Napothera. M. cinereiceps and M. malaccensis fall into a different clade and are a sister to the genus Trichastoma and nested within several species of Pellorneum. The position of M. perspicillata has not been resolved.
Napothera is a genus of birds in the family Pellorneidae. Some of its species were formerly placed in the genera Rimator and Jabouilleia.
The streaked wren-babbler is a species of bird in the family Pellorneidae. It is found in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
Pellorneum is a genus of passerine birds in the family Pellorneidae. Some of its species were formerly placed in the genus Trichastoma.
The Javan black-capped babbler is a species of bird in the family Pellorneidae. It is endemic to the island of Java in Indonesia. The Malayan black-capped babbler and the Bornean black-capped babbler were both formerly considered conspecific, but were split from it in 2021. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest.
Ptilocichla is a genus of passerine birds in the family Pellorneidae.
Alcippe is a genus of passerine birds in the monotypic family Alcippeidae. The genus once included many other fulvettas and was previously placed in families Pellorneidae or Timaliidae.
Schoeniparus is a genus of passerine birds in the family Pellorneidae.
The jungle babblers are a family, Pellorneidae, of mostly Old World passerine birds belonging to the superfamily Sylvioidea. They are quite diverse in size and coloration, and usually characterised by soft, fluffy plumage and a tail on average the length of their body, or longer. These birds are found in tropical zones, with the greatest biodiversity in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
