 In order to find a position for this form in my systematic scheme, I have 

 followed Peters in placing it in the genus Metallura. Meyer de Schauensee 

 has however shown (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 99: 107-111, 1947) 

 that "Zodaiia thaumasta" is almost certainly a hybrid between Aglaiocercus 

 coelestis coelestis (Gould) and Leshia victoriae aequatorialis Boucard.
