Remarks. Although resembling M. albocoronata in its white 

 crown, this species is quite different in coloring ; in M. albo- 

 coronata the plumage is black, washed with carmine, in Borne 

 lights appearing to be entirely black ; in M. parvirostris the 

 plumage is clear and uniform in color, not appearing black in 

 any position ; the tail is rounding and the black coloring at the 

 end is quite different from that of M. albocoronata, in which the 

 tail is even, and it has a strongly defined subtenninal black 

 band.
