Tits and Chickadees (Paridae)
White-browed Tit (Poecile superciliosus) - HBW 12, p. 716
French: Mésange à sourcils blancs
German: Weißbrauenmeise
Spanish: Carbonero Cejiblanco
Taxonomy: Poecile superciliosa Przevalski, 1876, Gansu, north China.
Until recently present genus normally subsumed into a broad Parus, and many authors still prefer that treatment. Genus normally treated as feminine, but no evidence in original description or elsewhere justifies this, so genus is masculine by default. Has been considered conspecific with P. gambeli or placed with it in a superspecies; further research required. Monotypic.
Distribution: C & S China: E Qinghai E to S Gansu and N Sichuan, and NE & SE Xizang.
