'''''Modulatrix''''' is a genus of [[bird]] [[endemism|endemic]] to the mountains of south eastern [[Africa]]. The genus is something of a taxonomic enigma. It has been placed with the [[Old World babbler]]s and the [[Old World flycatcher]]s. Recent molecular studies have suggested that the species is part of a clade that previously included the [[sugarbird]]s,<ref>Beresford, P.; Barker, F.K.; Ryan, P.G. & Crowe, T.M. (2005): African endemics span the tree of songbirds (Passeri): molecular systematics of several evolutionary 'enigmas'. ''[[Proceedings of the Royal Society|Proc. Roy. Soc. Lond. B]]'' '''272'''(1565): 849–858. {{DOI|10.1098/rspb.2004.2997}} PMID 15888418 [http://www.tc.umn.edu/~barke042/pdfs/Beresford.et.al05.pdf PDF fulltext] [http://www.journals.royalsoc.ac.uk/media/public/contributionsupplementalmaterials/h/y/b/7/hyb7fme16147k0d3/archive1.pdf Electronic appendix]</ref> but is better placed in a separate family. The genus now is usually considered monotypic containing the species [[spot-throat]] (''Modulatrix stictigula''), with the [[dapple-throat]] usually now treated as belonging to a separate genus, ''Arcanator''. |
