Hylia

Hyliidae is a family of passerine birds which would include the green hylia (Hylia prasina) and the tit hylia (Pholidornis rushiae). Physiological similarities and recent mitochondrial DNA evidence strongly support the creation of this family.[1][2][3][4]

Some taxonomic authorities place the entire family in the Macrosphenidae.

Hylias are small, insectivorous songbirds found in tropical Africa. They frequent the understory of wet tropical forests.

Genera
  • Pholidornis – tit hylia (formerly in Remizidae, then tentatively in Cettiidae)
  • Hylia – green hylia (formerly tentatively placed in Cettiidae)
