Old World Warblers (Sylviidae)
Timor Leaf-warbler (Phylloscopus presbytes) - HBW 11, p. 671
French: Pouillot de Timor
German: Timorlaubsänger
Spanish: Mosquitero de Timor
Other common names: Yellow-faced Leaf-warbler
Taxonomy: Sylvia presbytes Blyth, 1870, Timor.
Possibly closely related to P. sarasinorum; 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. On Timor, nominate race varies with altitude and geographically, those on Mt Ramelan being paler and greyer than those on Mt Mutis; study required in order to assess whether any taxonomic implications. Two subspecies recognized.

- floris (E. J. O. Hartert, 1898) - Flores, in WC Lesser Sundas.
