属 见内文 森莺科（学名：Parulidae），亦称为林莺科，是雀形目的一科，由生活于新大陆的小型鸣禽构成，又称为新大陆莺。它们与旧大陆莺与澳洲莺并没有直接的亲缘关系。 森莺科鸟类常拥有艳丽的体羽。它们大多在树林间觅食昆虫，但橙顶灶莺（Seiurus aurocapilla）、黄眉灶莺（Parkesia noveboracensis）、白眉灶莺（Parkesia motacilla）等少数种类则在地面觅食。 森莺科很可能起源于中美洲北部，那里的物种数量更多、多样性也更丰富。它们在间冰期从那向北迁徒，而在冬季则回到故土。而该科的鸲莺属（Myioborus）与王森莺属（Basileuterus）或许在两大洲相连之间便已到达了南美洲。 属 王森莺属（Basileuterus） 红脸森莺属（Cardellina） 啸森莺属（Catharopeza） 黄喉地莺属（Geothlypis） 食虫莺属（Helmitheros） 淡脚森莺属（Leucopeza） 白眉食虫莺属（Limnothlypis） 黑白森莺属（Mniotilta） 鸲莺属（Myioborus） 米欧王森莺属（Myiothlypis） 灰喉地莺属（Oporornis） 奥利奥森莺属（Oreothlypis） 眉纹灶莺属（Parkesia） 蓝翅黄森莺属（Protonotaria） 灶莺属（Seiurus） 橙尾鸲莺属（Setophaga） 虫森莺属（Vermivora） 参考文献 Curson, Quinn and Beadle, 1994.

The New World warblers or wood-warblers are a group of small, often colorful, passerine birds that make up the family Parulidae and are restricted to the New World. The family contains 120 species. They are not closely related to Old World warblers or Australian warblers. Most are arboreal, but some, like the ovenbird and the two waterthrushes, are primarily terrestrial. Most members of this family are insectivores.
This group likely originated in northern Central America, where the greatest number of species and diversity between them is found. From there, they spread north during the interglacial periods, mainly as migrants, returning to the ancestral region in winter. Two genera, Myioborus and Basileuterus, seem to have colonized South America early, perhaps before the two continents were linked, and together constitute most warbler species of that region.
