Genus
In 2011 all of the wood warblers were reclassified resulting in new genus names for almost all of them. The genus Dendroica, with 29 members, was merged with the genus Setophaga, with just 3 members. All of the former Dendroica species have been renamed to Setophaga.
Chestnut-sided Warbler, formerly Dendroica pensylvanica, is now Setophaga pensylvanica.
