The tree Warbler ( Setophaga , Syn. : Dendroica ) are the most diverse songbird genus of the family of Warblers (Parulidae). Depending on the author, the genus includes 36 to 38 species. Most of the species are migratory birds . Their breeding areas are predominantly in North America , the breeding area of ​​the caped warbler , golden warbler and crown warbler extends into the subpolar zone . Over the winter they migrate to Central America and South America . Some species have also been identified as rare wanderers in the extreme west of Europe . The males are usually noticeable by their colorful breeding dress .

Systematics

By 2010, the genus Setophaga was described as monotypical and contained the red-tailed warbler ( Setophaga ruticilla ) as the only species . The majority of the species grouped together in the genus today were listed in the genus Dendroica , which until then also had the common German name Baumwaldsänger. A major molecular genetic study by Irby J. Lovette et al. then showed, however, the red-tailed Warbler and the species that Elfenwald singer and Warbler , which earlier in the genus Parula were performed, as well as the hooded warbler from the now defunct genus Wilsonia , phylogenetically deep in the tree of the genus Dendroica were that therefore no monophyletic group educated. The genus therefore had to be expanded to include the embedded species. Although the old genus Dendroica with about 29 species forms the largest part of the newly established genus, this name is now only a synonym for Setophaga , because the name Setophaga has priority, since this genus was established by William John Swainson in 1827 and Dendroica in 1842 by George Robert Gray .

According to the IOU, the genus contains the 37 species listed below according to the current status (2018) . The sister group of the tree-wood warbler is the whistle-wood warbler ( Catharopeza bishopi ), which is often treated as a monotypical genus, but is sometimes also included in the genus Setophaga .
