Other families arising from this break-up include the Acrocephalidae, Phylloscipidae, and Scotocercidae, as well as part of the Sylviidae.
The Locustellidae in West Malaysia/Singapore are represented by only two species belonging to the genus Locustella. Under Malaysian naming, both are known as Burung Cekup 'warbler (bird)', a term traditionally used for the old Sylviidae.
Under Indonesian naming, Locustella gets its own name, Burung Kecici from the Javanese word cici / kecici, originally referring to the prinias.
