Under Sibley and Monroe, the members of Orthotomus are assigned to the Acrocephalinae. Howard and Moore 2003 treat them as Genera Incertae Sedis, coming immediately after the Cisticolidae. |
General
The following is based on analysis of dictionaries and other sources. Comments and corrections are welcome.
Note on Vietnamese naming: With the exception of ducks and chickens, it is common for Vietnamese bird names to be preceded by the word Chim meaning 'bird', although it is normally omitted in Vietnamese bird lists. All bird names, whether they include chim or not, can be preceded by the classifier con, which is used for living creatures.
In Vietnamese, the tailorbirds are known as Chim chích bông, or 'plant-floss warbler bird'. The term bông is used for cotton, cotton-wool, cotton-like material, fluff, flowers, blossoms, the ears (of grain plants), etc. In this case it may refer to the floss that the tailorbirds use to pad their nests.
