Camaroptera is a genus of small passerine birds in the family Cisticolidae that are found in sub-Saharan Africa.
The genus was erected by the Swedish zoologist Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1850. The type species is the green-backed camaroptera (Camaroptera brachyura).[1][2] The word Camaroptera comes from the Ancient Greek kamara for "arch" and pteron for "wing".[3]
The genus contains the following five species:[4]
Green-backed camaroptera (Camaroptera brachyura)
Grey-backed camaroptera (Camaroptera brevicaudata)
Hartert's camaroptera (Camaroptera harterti)
Yellow-browed camaroptera (Camaroptera superciliaris)
Olive-green camaroptera (Camaroptera chloronota)
Molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that the green-backed and the grey-backed camaroptera are closely related,[5][6][7] and some taxonomists treat them as conspecific.[8]
