Phyllastrephus debilis (Sclater, WL, 1899)
Pycnonotidae — Bulbuls
Lowland Tiny Greenbul, Phyllastrephus debilis, is a bulbul of eastern Africa in the family Pycnonotidae. It lives in moist lowland forest and moist shrubland in subtropical or tropical areas. The species was first described by W. L. Sclater in 1899. Two subspecies are recognised: P. d. rabai in south-eastern Kenya and north-eastern Tanzania, and P. d. debilis from south-eastern Tanzania to eastern Zimbabwe and southern Mozambique. It was once placed in Xenocichla, and until 2009 it was treated together with the montane tiny greenbul as one species.
