Megalurulus whitneyi Mayr, 1933 |
The Guadalcanal Thicketbird (Megalurulus whitneyi) is a bird species. Previously placed in the in the "Old World Warbler" family Sylviidae, it does not seem to be a close relative of the typical warblers; probably it belongs in the newly-recognized grass-warbler family Megaluridae. It is found in Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
