Pnoepyga

Synonyms: Proepygia; Propyga

Wikipedia Abstract

Pnoepyga is a genus of passerines endemic to southern and south eastern Asia. Its members are known as wren-babblers or cupwings. The genus contains five species. The genus has long been placed in the babbler family Timaliidae. A 2009 study of the DNA of the families Timaliidae and the Old World warblers (Sylviidae) found no support for the placement of the genus in either family, prompting the authors to erect a new monogeneric family, the Pnoepygidae.
