Tesia
The tesias are a genus, ''Tesia'', of Old World warbler. Though once included in the large family Sylviidae, more recent research placed it within a new family, Cettiidae.〔Alström, P.; Ericson, P.G.P.; Olsson, U. & Sundberg, P. (2006): Phylogeny and classification of the avian superfamily Sylvioidea. ''Mol. Phylogenet. Evol.'' 38(2): 381–397. PMID 16054402〕 The four species inhabit undergrowth of montane forests in South and Southeast Asia, where they are resident or short-range migrants. They have longish legs and appear tailless, with (seemingly) only 8 rectrices. Their simple songs are fairly loud, and their nests are typically ball-shaped. Their name is derived from ''Tisi'', the Nepalese name for ''T. cyaniventer''.〔
==Range and diversity==
The genus has a disjunct distribution in South and South East Asia. The three northern species range widely across southern China, Burma, Northern Thailand and Laos and into India, southern Nepal and Vietnam; whereas the other two species are found in Java and the Lesser Sundas in southern Indonesia. One species of tesia, the chestnut-headed tesia, which occupies the northern area of the genus' range, is now usually placed into the genus Cettia. The russet-capped tesia was once considered to be a race of the Timor stubtail, ''Urosphena subulata''. The three northern species are sometimes known as ground-warblers.〔
