The following sequence and taxonomy of species is based on Cibois et al (2008, 2011) and Saitoh et al (2012). These authors postulated as many as three waves of Pacific colonization (see also Pratt et al 1987, Dickinson 2003). The species A. orientalis groups with A. stentoreus, and A. arundinaceus of Asian origin. Among species endemic to the Pacific region, luscinius of Guam is closest to the A. orientalis group and is basal to the remaining species in the Pacific radiation. The latter separate into two major clades. One, with A. hiwae of Saipan and Alamagan as the basal taxon and A. australis of Solomon Is next to diverge, comprises four additional groups (Saitoh et al 2012): (1) yamashinae, rehsei, and aequinoctialis of Pagan, Nauru, and Kiribati respectively, (2) A. mendanae of southern Marquesas Is, (3) A syrinx of Caroline Is, and (4) nijoi of Aguiguan. Cibois et al (2011) and Saitoh et al (2012) note that there were three separate colonizations of the Mariana Is represented in the clade of which nijoi is basal. The second major clade consists of three minor clades; A. familiaris of Hawaiian Is and sister to the remaining two minor clades, A. kerearako and A. rimatarae of Cook Is and Rimatara respectively, and the remaining species, which separate into 5 genetically distinguishable lineages. These consist of (1) astralobii, atyphus, percernis, and longirostris of Gambier Is, Tuamotu Is, northern Marquesas Is, and Society Is respectively, (2) caffer of Society Is, (3) garretti and musae of Society Is, (4) taiti of Pitcairn Is, and (5) vaughani of Pitcairn Is. Saitoh et al (2012) note that among these latter 5 lineages, there are three in the Society Is and two in the Pitcairn Is (see accounts below). Pratt et al (1987) separated syrinx and rehsei as species, a change confirmed by Cibois et al (2011).

A. luscinius Nightingale Reed-Warbler
NOTE: Use of luscinius, an invariable noun, rather than luscinia is discussed by David and Gosselin (2002a). Saitoh et al (2012) suggested retaining the English name Nightingale Reed-Warbler for the only extant population (Saipan and Alamagan), rather than for the extinct population on Guam.

NOTE: Often considered conspecific with A. stentoreus Clamorous Reed-Warbler. Clements (2000) separated Solomon Is taxa as toxopei within A. australis, and applied sumbae to birds in parts of the Moluccas and Lesser Sundas; this treatment is followed here.
