The family was introduced (as Cisticolinae) by the Swedish zoologist [[Carl Jakob Sundevall]] in 1872.<ref>{{ cite book | last=Sundevall | first=Carl Jakob | author-link=Carl Jakob Sundevall | year=1872 | title=Methodi naturalis avium disponendarum tentamen.

Many taxonomists place the [[red-winged prinia]] and the [[red-fronted prinia]] in the genus ''[[Prinia]]'' rather than in their own [[monotypic]] genera.<ref name=hbwrw>{{cite web | last1=Ryan | first1=P. | last2=Dean | first2=R. | year=2017 | title=Red-winged Prinia (''Prinia erythroptera'') | editor1-last=del Hoyo | editor1-first=J. | editor2-last=Elliott | editor2-first=A. | editor3-last=Sargatal | editor3-first=J. | editor4-last=Christie | editor4-first=D.A. | editor5-last=de Juana | editor5-first=E. | work=Handbook of the Birds of the World Alive | publisher=Lynx Edicions | url=http://www.hbw.com/node/58601 | access-date=27 August 2017 |url-access=subscription  }}</ref><ref name=hbwrf>{{cite web | last1=Ryan | first1=P. | last2=Dean | first2=R. | year=2017 | title=Red-fronted Prinia (''Prinia rufifrons'') | editor1-last=del Hoyo | editor1-first=J. | editor2-last=Elliott | editor2-first=A. | editor3-last=Sargatal | editor3-first=J. | editor4-last=Christie | editor4-first=D.A. | editor5-last=de Juana | editor5-first=E. | work=Handbook of the Birds of the World Alive | publisher=Lynx Edicions | url=http://www.hbw.com/node/58704 | access-date=27 August 2017 |url-access=subscription  }}</ref>
Support for their placement in ''Prinia'' is provided by a [[molecular phylogenetic]] study of the Cisticolidae published in 2013 that found that both species were closely related to the [[prinia]]s.<ref name=olsson/>

The following genus level [[cladogram]] of the Cisticolidae is based on a [[molecular phylogenetic]] study by Urban Olsson and collaborators that was published in 2013.<ref name=olsson>{{ cite journal | last1=Olsson | first1=U. | last2=Irestedt | first2=M. | last3=Sangster | first3=G. | last4=Ericson | first4=P.G.P. | last5=Alström | first5=P. | year=2013 | title=Systematic revision of the avian family Cisticolidae based on a multi-locus phylogeny of all genera | journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution | volume=66 | issue=3 | doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2012.11.004 }}</ref> The number of species in each genus is taken from the list maintained by [[Frank Gill (ornithologist)|Frank Gill]], [[Pamela C.
