Cisticolas and Allies (Cisticolidae)

Yellow-throated Apalis (Apalis flavigularis) - HBW 11, p. 471

French: Apalis noir et jaune German: Gelbkehl-Feinsänger Spanish: Apalis Gorgigualdo

Taxonomy: Apalis flavigularis Shelley, 1893, Mulanje Plateau, Malawi.
Until recently, this species, along with A. lynesi and A. fuscigularis, was treated as conspecific with A. thoracica; molecular-genetic evidence suggests that such treatment is perhaps more appropriate. Monotypic.

Distribution: Mt Mulanje, Mt Zomba and Mt Malosa, in SE Malawi; possibly also Mt Chiperoni, in N Mozambique.
