PYCNONOTUS ERYTHROPHTHALMOS ERYTHROPHTHALMOS (Hame) 



Ixos erythrophthalmos Hume, Stray Feathers, vol. 6, p. 314, 1878 (Pakchan, 

 Tenasserim) . 



One female and one unsexed, Buldt, Patani, January 24 and 26, 

 1931. 



Dr. W. L. Abbott collected three males and one female in Trang 

 (Lay Song Hong, December 22, 1896; Chong, January 23, 1897; and 

 Trang, January 27 and 31, 1897). He records the soft parts as: Iris 

 red; orbital ring and gape orange-yellow; bill black; feet fleshy brown, 

 claws dark brown. 



This species is similar above to P. hrunneus, except the tail is raw 

 umber instead of brownish olive and the pileum has a grayish cast 

 rather than brownish olive; below it is hghter with the throat pale 

 olive-gray and the chest light grayish olive or smoke gray, not deep 

 colonial buff; under wing coverts marguerite yellow instead of 

 chamois; bill smaller. It differs from P. simplex in having the throat 

 pale olive gray instead of massicot yellow; the tail is raw umber 

 rather than brownish olive ; under wing coverts a much lighter yellow 

 and the color of the iris in life is red not white. 



The present form ranges from southern Tenasserim south through 

 Peninsular Siam to Singapore and Sumatra. Apparently it is not a 

 common bird in Peninsular Siam, or else it is mistaken for one of the 

 other brown bulbuls that it so much resembles. 



Williamson ^^ records it from Bangnara, Patani, under the name P. 

 pusillus; de Schauensee ^^ from Nakon Sritamarat; Robinson and 

 Kloss ^° from Tasan, Chumporn. F. e. salvadorii Sharpe is confined 

 to Borneo.
