The Kabobo apalis (Apalis porphyrolaema kaboboensis) is a subspecies of bird in the family Cisticolidae. It is endemic to the Itombwe Mountains in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1]
Originally described as a distinct species, it is usually treated as a subspecies of the chestnut-throated apalis, with BirdLife International revising its status to subspecies in 2008.[1]
Its natural habitat is tropical moist montane forests. Its status is insufficiently known; when it was still considered a good species, it was classified as data deficient by the IUCN with the remark that it might be considered a threatened taxon.[2]
