Taxonomy
A study published in 2021[1] concludes that the delicate prinia should be split from the graceful prinia.
- Prinia lepida, delicate prinia, 5 subspecies:
- Prinia lepida akyildizi, S Turkey,
- Prinia lepida irakensis, NE Syria, Iraq, SW Iran,
- Prinia lepida carpenteri, N Oman,
- Prinia lepida lepida, SE Iran, S Afghanistan, Pakistan, N India, C Nepal,
- Prinia lepida stevensi, SE Nepal, NE India, Bangladesh.
The International Ornithological Congress followed this change in an update later that year.[2]
