1 There are three crestless Asiatic species in the second section of Malherbe's genus Dryopicos, Picus 

 ffiitturalis Valenciennes, P. fulvus Quoy and Gaimard, and P. fvnehris Valenciennes. The first may be 

 regarded as the type, making Alophis a synonym of Malleripicux Bonaparte, 1854. It is also preoccupied 

 by Alophus Schonherr. 1826.
