Remarks.
We transfer
Garrulaxeus
ecki
to
Priceiella
(
Camurnirmus
)
based on the shape of the male genitalia illustrated by
Mey (2017
: fig. 87). However, the text description and illustrations of
P. ecki
do not give sufficient details to establish whether this species is separable from either
Priceiella
(
Camurnirmus
)
paulbrowni
Gustafsson & Bush, 2017
or
Pr.
(
Camurnirmus
)
hwameicola
Gustafsson & Bush, 2017
. Therefore, we regard
Garrulaxeus
ecki
as
species inquirenda.
