The genus ''Cincloramphus'' was introduced by the English ornithologist and bird artist [[John Gould]] in 1838 with the [[brown songlark]] as the [[type species]].<ref>{{ cite book | last=Gould | first=John | author-link=John Gould | year=1838 | title=A Synopsis of the Birds of Australia, and the Adjacent Islands | publisher=self | place=London | at=Part 4, p. 4 | url=https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/47441775 }}</ref><ref>{{ cite book | editor1-last=Mayr | editor1-first=Ernst | editor1-link=Ernst Mayr | editor2-last=Cottrell | editor2-first=G.

A comprehensive [[molecular phylogenetic]] study of the family Locustellidae published in 2018 found that many of the genera were non-[[monophyletic]]. In the resulting reorganization the genera ''Megalurulus'' and ''Buettikoferella'' became [[Synonym (taxonomy)|junior synonyms]] of the resurrected genus ''Cincloramphus''.<ref>{{ cite journal | last1=Alström | first1=P. | last2=Cibois | first2=A. | last3=Irestedt | first3=M. | last4=Zuccon | first4=D. | last5=Gelang | first5=M. | last6=Fjeldså | first6=J. | last7=Andersen | first7=M.J. | last8=Moyle | first8=R.G. | last9=Pasquet | first9=E. | last10=Olsson | first10=U. | year=2018 | title=Comprehensive molecular phylogeny of the grassbirds and allies (Locustellidae) reveals extensive non-monophyly of traditional genera, and a proposal for a new classification | journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution | volume=127 | pages=367–375 | doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2018.03.029 | pmid=29625229 | url=https://zenodo.org/record/2587007 }}</ref><ref name=ioc>{{cite web| editor1-last=Gill | editor1-first=Frank | editor1-link=Frank Gill (ornithologist) | editor2-last=Donsker | editor2-first=David | editor3-last=Rasmussen | editor3-first=Pamela | editor3-link=Pamela Rasmussen | date=August 2022 | title=Grassbirds, Donacobius, Malagasy warblers, cisticolas, allies | work=IOC World Bird List Version 12.2 | url=http://www.worldbirdnames.org/bow/grassbirds/ | publisher=International Ornithologists' Union | access-date=29 August 2022 }}</ref>
