Résumé :	A major new book on the warblers of the genus Sylvia (Shirihai et al 2001) will treat the taxonomy and identification of this intriguing group of passerines in greater depth than has ever been attempted before. Here, we present a shortened adaptation of that book's text dealing with Marmora's Warbler S. sarda. Of particular interest is the treatment of that taxon as forming a superspecies consisting of two allospecies, namely Marmora's Warbler S. (sarda) sarda and Balearic Warbler S. (s.) balearica. These two differ in plumage and vocalisations, as well in other parameters, and their identification is here discussed in detail.
