Suya
(syn. Prinia Ϯ Striated Prinia P. crinigera) Nepalese name Súya for the Striated Prinia; "6th Species.  Subgenus, PRINIA? SUYA, nobis.  ...  Type and species new ?PRINIA? CRINIGER, nobis.  SUYA CRINIGER, nobis.  Súya of the Nipalese.   ...   The whole of the above species are distinguished, in common, by hard, entire, compressed bills, feeble wings, gradated tails, and stout ambulatory legs and feet.  The structure of their stomachs, intestines and tongues, too, is similar, as are their food and customary haunts.  ...  The Súyæ are calculated to remind the student, in various ways, of Malurus, Megalurus and Synallaxis, as well as Prinia. Their strong entire bills, elevated powerful legs, and terrestrial habits, are, however, their preponderant characteristics, and those which induce me, with the subordinate peculiarities above detailed, to consider them as a subgenus of Pomatorhinus, having first referred the latter to the Crateropodinæ." (Hodgson 1836).   Var. Saya, Surya.
