Tremblers (Cinclocerthia) are a genus of perching birds in the family Mimidae that are endemic to the Lesser Antilles. They are medium-small, mostly brown or grey birds with long beaks and tails that typically are held cocked. Most recent authorities recognize two species in the genus, but some split each into two species, bringing it to four species: Grey trembler (Martinique trembler), Cinclocerthia (gutturalis) gutturalis Saint Lucia trembler, Cinclocerthia (gutturalis) macrorhyncha Brown trembler (Southern brown trembler), Cinclocerthia (ruficauda) ruficauda Northern brown trembler, Cinclocerthia (ruficauda) tremula
Among other living birds, they are apparently most closely related to the pearly-eyed thrasher.
