Striped Prinia
Prinia striata Swinhoe, 1859
Cisticolidae — Cisticolas & Allies
Striped Prinia, Prinia striata, is a passerine of the Cisticolidae family found in mainland China and Taiwan. It was described by Swinhoe in 1859. Its breeding range lies in the Oriental Region, and it is present across mainland China and on Taiwan. The species was once treated together with the Himalayan prinia as the striated prinia, but it was recognised as separate after a 2019 study. Three subspecies are known: catharia in northeast India, Myanmar and south-central China; parumstriata in southeast and central China; and striata on Taiwan.
