Sylvietta, the crombecs, is a genus of African warblers. Formerly placed in the massively paraphyletic family Sylviidae, it is now considered to belong to a newly recognized family found only in Africa, Macrosphenidae.
Taxonomy
The genus Sylvietta was introduced in 1839 by the French ornithologist Frédéric de Lafresnaye with Sylvietta brachyura Lafresnaye, the Northern crombec, as the type species.[2][3] The genus name is Modern Latin meaning "little warbler" or "woodland sprite", a diminutive of the genus Sylvia that had been introduced by Giovanni Antonio Scopoli in 1769.[4]
The genus contains the following nine species:[5]
- Green crombec, Sylvietta virens – west and central Africa
- Lemon-bellied crombec, Sylvietta denti – west and central Africa
- White-browed crombec, Sylvietta leucophrys – east-central Africa
- Northern crombec, Sylvietta brachyura – east, central and west Africa
- Philippa's crombec, Sylvietta philippae – acacia steppes of northwestern Somalia and adjacent Ethiopia
- Red-capped crombec, Sylvietta ruficapilla – southern central Africa
- Red-faced crombec, Sylvietta whytii – east Africa
- Somali crombec, Sylvietta isabellina – dry acacia steppes of Ethiopia, Somalia, and northern Kenya
- Long-billed crombec, Sylvietta rufescens – southern central and south Africa
