Garrulaxeus parvus Mey, 2017

Garrulaxeus parvus Mey, 2017: 164 , fig. 88, pl. XVI: fig. 1.

Brueelia parva ( Mey, 2017) . New combination.

Type host: Turdoides gularis (Blyth, 1855) —white-throated babbler.

Type locality: Thityapante , 50 km S of Magwe, Myanmar .

Remarks. Both illustrations of this species given by Mey (2017) show severely distorted male genitalia; this fact, together with a very brief text description and diagnosis, makes it difficult to place G. parvus in any genus. However, the photograph of the male holotype shows that this species would belong in a group with Brueelia pengya ( Ansari, 1947) , within Brueelia sensu stricto; hence we tentatively place it in that group. This group is also known by the name Painjunirmus Ansari, 1947 , and Gustafsson & Bush (2017: 37) regarded it as “atypical” considering that the morphological differences between Painjunirmus and Brueelia sensu stricto may be enough to warrant the recognition of Painjunirmus as a subgenus. In an upcoming publication, Gustafsson & Bush (in prep.) analyse this group in more detail including the comments made by Mey (2017: 155–156).
