Quite recently, the authors reviewed all the relevant reports on Garrulax milnei milnei since the bird described by Père A. David in 1874, and showed its relatively long absence in wild around its typy locality in the last decades years (He et al. 2015). Then, during March–October 2015, the Jiangxi Wuyishan NNR carried out series of surveys together with 57 infrared–triggered cameras fixed at 29 locations above 1700 m the elevation for seeking the bird specifically. Whereas, either the current field effort or the results of the newly fixed cameras plus those results of in total of 300 cameras fixed in the whole area of the nature reserve since October 2009, no record of the bird could be identified since so far. It is hence to suggest that the current status of Garrulax milnei milnei might be considered to be in such a situation of in between Critically Endangered (CR) and [functionally] Extinct in the Wild (EW).
