Dumetia is a genus of passerine birds in the Old World babbler family Timaliidae that are found in India and Sri Lanka.

Taxonomy[edit]

The genus Dumetia was introduced in 1852 by the English zoologist Edward Blyth.[1] The genus name is from Latin dumetum, dumeti, meaning "thicket."[2] Blyth listed two species in the genus, and of these, George Robert Gray in 1855 selected the tawny-bellied babbler as the type species.[3][4]

Species[edit]

The genus contains the following species:[5]
