''Sericornis'' is a genus of small, mainly insectivorous, birds, the scrubwrens. They are placed in the family Acanthizidae which was included in the Pardalotidae in the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy. However, this placement was always controversial and indeed has since turned out to be false. Despite the similarity in shape and habits, the true wrens (Troglodytidae) are a quite unrelated group of passerines. ''Sericornis'' contains the following species and notable subspecies: * Grey-green scrubwren, ''Sericornis arfakianus'' * Tropical scrubwren or Beccari's scrubwren, ''Sericornis beccarii'' - sometimes included in ''S. magnirostris'' * Yellow-throated scrubwren, ''Sericornis citreogularis'' * White-browed scrubwren, ''Sericornis frontalis'' * * Spotted scrubwren, ''Sericornis frontalis maculatus'' * * Buff-breasted scrubwren, ''Sericornis frontalis laevigaster'' * Tasmanian scrubwren or brown scrubwren, ''Sericornis humilis'' - sometimes included in ''S. frontalis'' * Atherton scrubwren, ''Sericornis keri'' * Large-billed scrubwren, ''Sericornis magnirostris'' * Large scrubwren, ''Sericornis nouhuysi'' * Papuan scrubwren, ''Sericornis papuensis'' * Buff-faced scrubwren, ''Sericornis perspicillatus'' * Vogelkop scrubwren, ''Sericornis rufescens'' * Pale-billed scrubwren, ''Sericornis spilodera'' * Perplexing scrubwren, ''Sericornis virgatus'' ==References== * Del Hoyo, J.; Elliot, A. & Christie D.
