Garrulaxeus sikkimensis Mey, 2017
Garrulaxeus sikkimensis Mey, 2017: 165 , pl. XVI: fig. 2.
Priceiella sikkimensis ( Mey, 2017) . New combination, incertae sedis.
Type host: Pomatorhinus superciliaris superciliaris (Blyth, 1842) —slender-billed scimitar-babbler.
Type locality: Dib La , Trashiyangsi Valley, East Bhutan .
Remarks. The only illustration of Garrulaxeus sikkimensis Mey, 2017 is a photograph of the female holotype, which does not give enough details to place this species in either Priceiella or Guimaraesiella . The shapes of the subgenital plate and the tergopleurites suggest that G. sikkimensis should be placed in Priceiella , and the head shape would place G. sikkimensis close to the other species of Priceiella on scimitar-babblers, such as Pr. (Thescelovora) austini Gustafsson et al., 2018b , Pr. (Thescelovora) chanthaburiana Gustafsson et al., 2018b and Pr. (Thescelovora) macrocephala Gustafsson et al., 2018b . However, G. sikkimensis , in particular the unknown male, needs a thorough redescription before its relationships can be confirmed. Therefore, we regard it as incertae sedis within Priceiella .
