Sylvia es un género de aves paseriformes de la familia Sylviidae, donde se clasifican 28 especies de pájaros. Este grupo se extiende por Eurasia y África. Son aves de pequeño porte, plumaje discreto y poco vistoso, canto melodioso y prolongado, muy activas. Se mueven constantemente en busca de insectos de los que se alimentan. Habitan tanto zonas de bosques frondosos y claros, como zonas de matorral semidesértico, campos agrícolas y áreas urbanas. Las especies que nidifican de climas templados son migratorias. La mayoría de las especies presentan dimorfismo sexual, y los machos suelen distinguirse por tener el píleo de distinto color y otro tipo de manchas y listas.
