Mountain Mouse-warbler
Origma robusta (De Vis, 1898)
Acanthizidae — Australasian Warblers
Mountain Mouse-warbler, Origma robusta, is a passerine of montane New Guinea in Australasia. It belongs to the Acanthizidae family and breeds in the mountains of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Its home is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. The species was once placed in Crateroscelis, but a 2018 molecular study of scrubwrens and mouse-warblers led to its transfer to Origma. It was described by De Vis in 1898. Several subspecies are recognised, including peninsularis, bastille, diamondi, deficiens, sanfordi and robusta.
