Volgens mij is de situatie in Oman e.o. nog niet geheel duidelijk.

"We found that, of all the morphological characters proposed, only proportions and tail barring and spotting relatively consistently distinguish the 2 groups. However, these characters strongly suggest that the eastern Arabian Peninsula is populated by taxa of both the gracilis and lepida groups, in different areas, but we lack genetic and bioacoustic data to corroborate this."

(In Israel valt aan de "Graceful Prinia" niet te ontsnappen, maar die andere "Delicate Prinia" is me in India niet opgevallen. Voor de Nederlandse naam dan maar twee variaties op "Gestreept" verzinnen?)

Hier een ID artikel over deze split van Graceful Prinia en Delicate Prinia.

Gregory Askew, de auteur van het interssante artikel dat ik hierboven linkte, gaf me recent aan:

We've recently confirmed P. lepida carpenteri in Qatar as well as P. lepida irakensis in northeastern Saudi. I hope the authors of the paper that led to the split will revisit the question of the eastern Arabian taxa, especially as it's likely their ranges overlap, raising the prospect of hybrids.
