Dendroica G.R.Gray, 1842
northern warblers - see genus Setophaga
The wood warblers that were earlier classified as being of the genus Dendroica have been found to be more closely related to American Redstarts, previously the sole species in the genus Setophaga. Since the genus Setophaga was published earlier than Dendroica, the first name takes precedence.
