Old World Warblers (Sylviidae)
Sulawesi Leaf-warbler (Phylloscopus sarasinorum) - HBW 11, p. 671
French: Pouillot des Célèbes
German: Celebeslaubsänger
Spanish: Mosquitero de Célebes
Other common names: Celebes Leaf-warbler
Taxonomy: Cryptolopha sarasinorum A. B. Meyer and Wiglesworth, 1896, Mount Lompobatang, 1300-2600 m, south Sulawesi.
Possibly closely related to P. presbytes; both previously thought to form a superspecies with P.trivirgatus, P. poliocephalus and P. makirensis, but this arrangement not supported by findings from recent molecular-genetic studies. Detailed review of all leaf-warbler taxa in Indonesia and Wallacea required. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- nesophilus (Riley, 1918) - N, C & SE Sulawesi.
- sarasinorum (A. B. Meyer & Wiglesworth, 1896) - S Sulawesi.
