  • Prinia lepida, delicate prinia, 5 subspecies:
    • Prinia lepida akyildizi, S Turkey,
    • Prinia lepida irakensis, NE Syria, Iraq, SW Iran,
    • Prinia lepida carpenteri, N Oman,
    • Prinia lepida lepida, SE Iran, S Afghanistan, Pakistan, N India, C Nepal,

The International Ornithological Congress followed this change in an update later that year.[2]
