Victorin's Warbler

Cryptillas victorini

Victorin's warbler (Cryptillas victorini) or Victorin's scrub warbler, is a species of African warbler, formerly placed in the family Sylviidae. It was recently split from the genus Bradypterus and now belongs to a monotypic genus Cryptillas.

It is endemic to the fynbos of South Africa's coastal Afromontane area.

The common name and scientific name commemorates Johan Fredrik Victorin (1831-1855), a Swedish traveler who visited South Africa.
