They are not related to the Old World warblers (Sylviidae) or the Australian warblers.
From thence they spread north during the interglacial periods, mainly as migrants, returning to the ancestral region in winter.

Date : 9/11/2006 Time : 7:14:27 AM The name warbler is used for birds of two subfamilies of the flycatcher family, Muscicapidae; for birds of the New World wood warbler family, Parulidae; and for several species of birds in the thrush family, Turdidae.
The New World wood warblers usually have an unwarblerlike song and probably were named for their Old World counterparts because of their similar body shape, quick movements, and insectivorous habits.
In addition to their songs, a prime difference between the New World wood warblers and the Old World warblers is that the former have nine primary feathers (flight feathers on the "hand") whereas the latter have ten.

 Postcards from Australia III
Until continental drift was discovered and the history of the continents was worked out, the northern Australian rainforests were assumed just to be spillover from Asia or to have been derived from the dry forests of Australia, but in fact neither is the case; they have a completely separate history.
It is now understood that the southern half of New Guinea and some of the nearby islands are part of the Australian plate and travelled with Australia as it rafted across the oceans far from the influence of the flora and fauna of other continents.
