Fulvetta is a songbird genus. Originally proposed in 1877, it was recently reestablished for the typical fulvettas, which were long included with their presumed relatives in the Timaliidae (Old World babbler) genus Alcippe[1]. But they are actually quite closely related to the typical warblers and therefore a member of the family Sylviidae.
It contains the following species:
- Spectacled Fulvetta, Fulvetta ruficapilla
- Chinese Fulvetta, Fulvetta striaticollis
- White-browed Fulvetta, Fulvetta vinipectus
- Grey-hooded Fulvetta, Fulvetta cinereiceps
- Taiwan Fulvetta, Fulvetta formosana - formerly in F. cinereiceps
- Streak-throated Fulvetta, Fulvetta manipurensis - formerly in F. cinereiceps
- Ludlow's Fulvetta, Fulvetta ludlowi - tentatively placed here
