Résumé :	Moltoni's Warbler Sylvia subalpina was recently elevated to species rank following a taxonomic revision of what used to be known as Subalpine Warbler S. cantillans. While Moltoni's Warbler has been extensively studied on its breeding grounds, its winter range is largely unknown and few records from West Africa exist. Following recent observations in Senegal, where it has been recorded annually since 2013, we review the West African records, which suggest that the species has a broad winter range in the Sahel from Senegal to Nigeria. Greatest numbers may be found in the east of this range, but more research is needed to define the range and abundance more precisely, and to understand moult and migration strategies.
