Changes in Wood-Warblers
More sweeping changes derive from adoption of a new classification of the Parulidae,
which results in the following: (1) 40 species (Geothlypis tolmiei, G. philadelphia,
G. formosa, Setophaga plumbea, S. angelae, S. pharetra, S. citrina, S. kirtlandii,
S. tigrina, S. cerulea, S. americana, S. pitiayumi, S. magnolia, S. castanea,

S. adelaidae, S. subita, S. delicata, S. graciae, S. nigrescens, S. townsendi,
S. occidentalis, S. chrysoparia, S. virens, Basileuterus lachrymosus,
Cardellina canadensis, C. pusilla, C. rubra, and C. versicolor) are
transferred to currently recognized genera; (2) one genus (Myiothlypis)
is added because of a split from another genus; (3) six genera
(Parula, Dendroica, Wilsonia, Ergaticus, Euthlypis, and Phaeothlypis)
are deleted by being lumped with other genera; and (4) a new linear
sequence is adopted for genera and species in this family.
