Measurements of specimens of Hypurolepis javanica javanica. 



The present species is structurally different enough from Hirundo 

 rustica Linnaeus, by reason of its broad bill, veiy short, slightly 

 forked tail, to necessitate its generic segregation, as already claimed 

 by Mr. Mathews. 1 The proper generic name for it seems to be 

 Hypurolepis Gould 2 (type, by subsequent designation, 3 Hirundo 

 domicola Jerdon [=Hirundo javanica domicola Jerdon]), since Herse 

 Lesson 4 is preoccupied by Herse Oken, 1815, for a genus of Lepidop- 

 tera. 5 Mr. Mathews, in designating the type of Hypurolepis Gould, 

 states it to be Hirundo domicola Jerdon "by monotypy" 6 ; but Gould 

 in his original institution of the genus in the text to plate 32 of his 

 "Birds of Asia" specifically included Hirundo domicola Jerdon, 

 Hirundo subfusca Gould [ = Hirundo taltitica Gmelin], and provisionally 

 Hirundo neoxena Gould.
