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 .
