(Khun Tan, Mae Kong Ka valley). 



In addition to specimens recorded under the references given above, 

 I have examined (in Hannover) two males and one female taken by 

 Eisenhofer in "Siam" and (in Stockholm) 12 males and about 7 females 

 obtained by the same collector at Khun Tan (one of them dated June 9, 

 1913). The species is evidently abundant at Khun Tan and is at least 

 not rare in the neighborhood of Doi Mae Kong Ka, but is otherwise 

 unknown from any part of our provinces. 



Examples listed (1916) by Gyldenstolpe as rubeculoides "were all 

 shot on the summits of the highest hills among the Koon Tan range 

 where they occurred either in pairs or in small flocks among the pine- 

 trees." Smith's specimens from Khun Tan were taken at 3,000 and 

 4,000 feet. 



The adult male has the forehead, supercilium, and shoulder patch 

 shining blue ; the lores black ; the remaining upperparts bright, deep 

 blue ; the chin, upper throat, and sides of the lower throat, neck and 

 breast deep blue; the center of the lower throat and breast bright 

 orange-rufous, this color gradually fading away along the flanks and 

 changing to white on the abdomen and under tail coverts ; the thighs 

 deep blue. The adult female has the upperparts rufescent-brown 

 (more olivaceous on the crown and nape), becoming rufous on the 

 upper tail coverts and rectrices ; the underparts dull orange, changing 

 to white on the lower abdomen and the under tail coverts.
