Garrulaxeus sichuanensis Mey, 2017

Garrulaxeus sicuanensis Mey, 2017: 163, fig. 85, pl. XV: figs 1–2.

Priceiella (Camurnirmus) sichuanensis ( Mey, 2017) . New combination.

Type host: Ianthocincla berthemyi (Oustalet, 1876) —buffy laughingthrush.

Type locality: Kuatun , Fukien, China .

Remarks. We tentatively include Garrulaxeus sichuanensis Mey, 2017 in Priceiella (Camurnirmus) , due to the similarity between the male genitalia of this species ( Mey 2017: fig. 85) and those of Pr. (Camurnirmus) rhinocichlae ( Eichler, 1957: figs 88–89), despite the fact that only part of the mesosome of G. sichuanensis is illustrated. The shape of the parameres also suggests that G. sichuanensis should be included in Camurnirmus , and close to Pr. (Camurnirmus) rhinocichlae . However, G. sichuanensis needs to be thoroughly redescribed and illustrated to confirm our subgeneric placement.
