Tits and Chickadees (Paridae)
Yellow-bellied Tit (Periparus venustulus) - HBW 12, p. 723
French: Mésange gracieuse
German: Schmuckmeise
Spanish: Carbonero Ventrigualdo
Taxonomy: Parus venustulus Swinhoe, 1870, gorges of Yangtze between Kweifoo (Sichuan) and Ichang (Hubei), east China.
Until recently present genus normally subsumed into a broad Parus, and many authors still prefer that treatment. Alternatively, has been combined with P. elegans and P. amabilis in a separate genus, Pardaliparus, and may form a superspecies with these two. Monotypic.
Distribution: EC & E China from NE Hebei S to S Gansu, C & E Sichuan and NE Yunnan, and from W Hubei S to NW Guangzi and E to S Anhui, C Hunan, N Jiangxi and N Guangdong; non-breeding also coastal districts from Jiangsu S to S Guangdong.
