A new bird family, containing one species the Spotted Wren-Babbler Elachura formosa has been described. It ranges from the East Himalayas to SE China.

I am glad I am not doing that. That way madness lies. As bad as Laughing Thrushes.

It has already been demonstrated that 4 spp of “Wren-Babblers” were not babblers, they are now IOC family Pnoepygidae. This is another stage in unpacking the Babblers.
