The Old World Warblers are a group of more than 280 small insectivorous passerine bird species. They made up the family Sylviidae in the obsolete "wastebin" circumscription, and any drab smallish songbird from the Owld World was liable to be dumped in this polyphyletic assemblage. Even the Kinglets (family Regulidae), an entirely unrelated lineage of songbirds, were frequently placed in this "family".
This category includes birds united in the Sylviidae when this group was still polyphyletic. Most are now moved elsewhere. See also Category:Old World babblers.
