The warbler-finches are a genus Certhidea of birds in the tanager family Thraupidae that are endemic to the Galápagos Islands. Together with related genera, they are collectively known as Darwin's finches.

The two species were formerly considered to be conspecific; however, they have different songs, prefer different habitats, and are located in different areas on the islands.[1]
