Incertae sedis near Pycnonotidae
General opinion seems to be that the following four species are in (BoA, CMT, SAM, HBW) or near (HM, IOC) Pycnonotidae. DFW has
Neolestes near Pycnonotidae and Nicator near Malaconotidae. Note: BoA has Pycnonotidae in Vol. 4 but adds these four from Vol. 6.

excludes Pseudocossyphus spp and Monticola spp), and here placed after the chats, in Turdidae and the rest in Muscicapidae.

Incertae sedis near Sylviidae
There is considerable argument as to the true relationships of these species. All are Madagascan endemics and therefore not in BoA or the
regional guides (of the references considered here they are only in DFW, CMT, HM, SAM, HBW and IOC). Some have been thought to
have relationships with Timaliidae and/or Pycnonotidae. HM considers that all are linked. The references consider the familial
relationships to be:
Randia, Cryptosylvicola and Thamnornis: CMT, HBW, IOC place in Sylviidae with Randia and Thamnornis also by DFW and SAM
(Cryptosylvicola was first described in 1996 after these were published), HM places all three Incertae sedis near Sylviidae.
Newtonia spp: DFW, CMT, SAM, HBW place in Sylviidae, HM, IOC in Vangidae.
Bernieria and Xanthomixis spp: CMT, SAM have as Phyllastrephus spp in Pycnonotidae, DFW has all as Bernieria spp in Timaliidae, IOC
place in Sylviidae, HM has them Incertae sedis near Sylviidae, and they are not yet covered by HBW.
Oxylabes and Crossleyia: DFW, SAM place in Timaliidae, CMT has them Incertae sedis near Timaliidae, HBW, IOC place in Sylviidae,
HM has them Incertae sedis near Sylviidae.
Hartertula (Neomixis) flavoviridis: DFW, SAM place in Timaliidae, CMT has them Incertae sedis near Timaliidae, IOC places in
Sylviidae, HM has them Incertae sedis near Sylviidae and HBW places in Cisticolidae.
Neomixis tenella, N. viridis and N. striatigula: DFW, SAM place in Timaliidae, CMT has them Incertae sedis near Timaliidae, HBW
places in Cisticolidae, HM, IOC have them Incertae sedis near Cisticolidae.
27
Mystacornis: DFW, SAM place in Timaliidae, CMT has it Incertae sedis near Timaliidae, HM, IOC place in Vangidae and it is not yet
covered by HBW.

changed this to masculine and hence most specific names are now …us although a few have remained as …a for grammatical reasons.
