1 The Motacilla gularis of Raffles (Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond., Vol. 13, 1822, p. 

 312) is preoccupied by Motacilla gularis Gmelin (Syst. Nat., Vol. 1, pt. 2, 

 1789, p. 997) and therefore untenable. The next name appears to be Prinia 

 pilcata Blyth (Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, Vol. 11, 18^2, p. 204). The species 

 should consequently be called Mixornis pileata (Blyth).
