The yellow-throated scrubwren (''Sericornis citreogularis'') is a passerine bird found in parts of eastern coastal Australia. Placed in the family Pardalotidae in the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, this has met with opposition and indeed is now known to be wrong; they rather belong to the independent family Acanthizidae. A small ground-dwelling bird that inhabits wet forest or rainforest, it is insectivorous. The bird has a distinctive yellow throat and eyebrow. The male face is black and the female brown. The crown and upperparts are dark- to olive-brown, and the underparts cream, white or washed-out olive. The wings are dark brown and edged with yellow. Breeding twice or more in a long breeding season, it nests in large suspended pear-shaped structures. Often over water, they resemble flood debris which they are often placed nearby. These nests are the preferred roosts of the golden-tipped bat (''Phoniscus papuensis''). ==Taxonomy== The yellow-throated scrubwren was originally described by ornithologist John Gould in 1838.〔Gould, J. (1838). ''A Synopsis of the Birds of Australia, and the Adjacent Islands.'' London: J. Gould〕 The specific epithet ''citreogularis'' derived from the Latin terms ''cǐtreus'' "pertaining to citrus" and ''gǔla'' "throat", hence "yellow throated". The northern subspecies ''cairnsii'' was described by amateur ornithologist Gregory Mathews in 1912.〔Mathews GM. (1912). A Reference-List to the Birds of Australia. ''Novit. Zool.'' 18: 171-455〕
