Cettiidae is a newly validated
family of small
insectivorous songbirds ("
warblers"), formerly placed in the
Old World warbler "
wastebin" assemblage. It contains the typical
bush warblers (
Cettia) and their relatives. As a common name,
cettiid warblers is usually used.
The
species are small, stubby birds. Most have moderately long to long tails, while the stubtails and tesias have tiny tails that do not even emerge past their tail retrices. The group is typically clad in dull plumage, often with a line above the eye.
