Basileuterus is a genus of New World warblers, best represented in Central and South America.This is one of only two warbler genera that are well represented in the latter continent.
First collected in the Arfak Mountains, the orange-crowned fairywren was described by Richard Bowdler Sharpe in 1879. [3] Molecular study indicates that it forms a clade with the fairywrens of the genus Malurus. [4] [5] Alternative names for the orange-crowned fairywren include orange-crowned wren, rufous fairywren, and rufous wren-warbler.
Golden-crowned warbler has 13 geographical races, which fall into three groups.
