Taxonomy
The genus Hemitesia was introduced in 1948 by the American ornithologist James Chapin with Neumann's warbler as the type species.[1][2] The name combines the Ancient Greek hēmi- meaning "half-" or "small" with the genus Teslia that had been introduced by Brian Hodgson in 1837.[3] The genus is placed in the family Cettiidae and is sister to the genus Urosphena.[4]
The genus contains two species:[5]
- Pale-footed bush warbler, Hemitesia pallidipes
- Neumann's warbler, Hemitesia neumanni
