Chrysomma is a songbird genus. Long considered a member of the family Timaliidae (Old World babblers), Chrysomma is actually quite closely related to the typical warblers and even closer to the parrotbills, and is therefore a member of the family Sylviidae.
The genus contains two species:[1]
- Yellow-eyed babbler, Chrysomma sinense
- Jerdon's babbler, Chrysomma altirostre
The rufous-tailed babbler was formerly placed in this genus but has been moved to the monotypic Moupinia.[1]
