2E3587B5E769FFC97C93A01148F92AC3.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. — Sameȱ asȱ forȱ theȱ typeȱ genusȱ (Collarȱ 2006). ȱ Thus, ȱ Robsoniinaeȱ differsȱ from all other oscine passerines by a combination of: (i) absence of rictal bristles; (ii) partfeathered nares; (iii) broad white tips to the wing-coverts and outer 2 – 3 primaries; (iv) very copious, dense, elongate rump feathering; (v) fairly long and slightly hooked bill, as in Turdinus Blyth, 1844; (vi) high-pitched, insect-like main vocalisation; and (vii) habit of walking (Collar 2006: 108). In addition, our alignment, using MUSCLE (Edgar 2004) as implemented in MEGA 7 (Kumar et al. ȱ 2016), ȱ ofȱ theȱ fifthȱ intronȱ ofȱ theȱ nuclearȱ geneȱ β-fibrinogenȱ (Fib 5) ȱ datasetsȱ ofȱ Moyle et al. (2012), Oliveros et al. (2012) and Hosner et al. (2013) obtained from GenBank, shows that there is a 1 bp insertion (corresponding to position 268 of sequence JN 8261411 of R. sorsogonensis) and a 1 bp deletion (corresponding to position 541 of JN 826141) that are synapomorphic for Robsonius (and hence Robsoniinae).
