Etymology and history of research
William Edwin Brooks described the Brooks warbler under the name Reguloides subviridis . The type specimen came from Etawah District and Nagar District in Uttar Pradesh . It was not until 1826 that Friedrich Boie introduced the new genus Phylloscopus for the Fitis ( Phylloscopus trochilus ) ( Linnaeus , 1758) . Only later was the Brookslaughters assigned to this genre. This name is derived from the Greek words "phyllon, φυλλον " for "leaf" and "skopos, skopeō σκοπος, σκοπεω " for "seeker, seeker, appraise". The specific epithet »subviridis« is a Latin word formation from »sub« for »below, something« and »viridis, virere« for »green, to be green«. The German name is derived from the person who first described it, the ornithologist William Edwin Brooks.
