Laurent must be right about the Babbler. The other two Babblers mentioned are also described. The one of the Liocichla dates from 2006 and is well known. The Fulvetta was originally described as a subspecies of the Spectacled Fulvetta (Alcippe ruficapilla) in the Forktail, No.10 (1995). Now it is treated as a race of the Indochinese Fulvetta (Fulvetta danisi).
Vanikoro and Dutson's Zosterops are one and the same bird and its description is apparently in preparation. I still haven't found the article in which the other Zosterops was treated, but I expect it to be mentioned in the upcoming volume of HBW.
