Sericornis

Sericornis is a genus of small, mainly insectivorous birds, the scrubwrens in the family Acanthizidae. Despite the similarity in shape and habits, the true wrens (Troglodytidae) are a quite unrelated group of passerines.

The genus previously contained additional species but following the publication of a molecular phylogenetic study of the scrubwrens in 2018, several species were moved to the resurrected genus Aethomyias and the yellow-throated scrubwren was placed in its own monotypic genus Neosericornis.

The genus contains eight species:
 * Large-billed scrubwren, Sericornis magnirostra
 * Tropical scrubwren or Beccari's scrubwren, Sericornis beccarii - sometimes included in S. magnirostris
 * Large scrubwren, Sericornis nouhuysi
 * Spotted scrubwren, Sericornis maculatus - previously included in S. frontalis
 * Tasmanian scrubwren or brown scrubwren, Sericornis humilis - previously included in S. frontalis
 * Atherton scrubwren, Sericornis keri
 * White-browed scrubwren, Sericornis frontalis
 * Perplexing scrubwren, Sericornis virgatus
