Summary
Brooke, R. K. & Dean W. R. J. 1990. On the biology and taxonomic position of Drymoica substriara Smith, the so-called Namaqua Prinia. Ostrich 61:50-55.
Data are presented on the habitat, foraging behaviour, diet (both insects and fruit), vocalizations and breeding nest architecture, e colour, pattern and size, clutch size (modal value three eggs) and season (August to April with a peak in September) of the so-called Namaqua Prinia. Evidence from morphology of the tail, behaviour (includin nest architecture), egg markings and vocalizations is led to show that Drymoica substriata Smith is not a Prinia. In the absence of clear evidence for placing it in an existing genus, a new monotypic genus in the Sylviidae is proposed.
