Only the last mentioned female is provided with a white 

 superciliary stripe, but tbat is rather strongly developed. In 

 ^11 tbe birds from Rutshuru and Beni even tliose labeled as 

 females the loral and superciliary region is entirely black. 

 Such a variation has been recorded before, but it is note- 

 worthy that in this case the majority of the females are 

 whithout white stripe. The black shoulder patches are in 

 some specimens less strongly developed which perhaps hints 

 a transition to P. anchietce.
