Fulvetta is a genusofpasserine birds. Originally proposed in 1877, it was recently reestablished for the typical fulvettas, which were long included with their presumed relatives in the Timaliidae (Old World babbler) genus Alcippe.[1] But they are actually quite closely related to the parrotbills, and are thus now placed in the family Paradoxornithidae.
The genus contains the following eight species:[2]
