The reference work cited is very consistent. Looking up "gerygone" in the Macquarie, the entry includes ' ... formerly known as warblers.'
Consulting the more specialised reference "Australian Bird Names" by Ian Fraser and Jeannie Gray shows that the use of 'warbler' was only officially squashed by the RAOU in 1978 (after
they had introduced it in 1926 to replace 'Fly-eater').
