Record type indicates new species, new records (species not recorded before) and species whose name was changed since Burgess et al. (2007). Presence of species among forest blocks is indicated with ‘1’ (in bold when new records), while ‘0’ indicates a removed record. Following standard nomenclature codes, authority names are in parenthesis when the original name was changed. For the 6 new species awaiting full description but already assessed as being new, the authority column indicate the reference to published morphological and molecular assessment (full reference in footnotes). They are listed with their proposed genus name followed by ‘sp. nov.’, except for Laniarius (fuelleborni) usambaricus (see footnotes).
