Newly described since Sibley and Monroe.
According to Avibase, Howard and Moore accept it under the name Bluntschli's Vanga. Clements apparently does not (?), nor do Gill and Wright, leaving Hypositta as a monotypic genus with one species of Nuthatch Vanga. Its disputed taxonomic status rests on the two 1930s specimens, both juveniles.
Lump it, rename it, or keep as is?
