in honour of its discoverer. They resemble Eos semilarvata (Schleg.), but differ in 

 the following characters : — 



1. On the head is a blue spot reaching from behind the eye to the ear-coverts 

 only, while in E. semilarvata the blue runs in a broad line from the base of the 

 mandible over the cheeks to the ear-coverts. 



2. The scapulars form only a blue patch on the wing in E. semilarvata, while 

 in the new bird the blue forms a long line along the upper edge of the wing, some 

 of the lesser wing-coverts also being blue. 



3. There is, in addition to the narrower black tips (jf the secondaries, a broad 

 black band across the wing, formed by the broad black tips of the longest upper 

 wing-coverts.
