Nectarinia (v. Anthreptes) frontalis Blyth, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, vol. 14, 

 pt. 2, p. 558, 1845 (Singapore), 



One male, Bukit, Patani, January 25, 1931. 



Dr. W. L. Abbott took one male, Chong, Trang, January 21, 1897; 

 and one female, Trang, January 27, 1899. 



These three specimens from Peninsular Siam are more yellowish 

 citrine above than a single male of A. s. simplex from Sumatra and 

 below more grajdsh on the throat. A single female of A. s. simplicior 

 from Borneo is much paler below, more grayish than the female from 

 Trang and yellowish only down the center of the breast and on the 

 belly, the Trang female being greenish yellow from the chest downward. 

 The type of A. s. simplicior resembles the Sumatran male above, but 

 below it is grayer and the yellowish is restricted to the middle of the 

 breast; the Sumatran specimen has the flanks as well as the breast and 

 belly greenish yellow. 



The two males from Patani and Trang measure (Patani male first): 

 Wing, 60-62; tail, 46-46; culmen, 14.5-14 mm. The single female 

 from Trang: Wing, 55; tail, 38; culmen, 13.5 mm. The single male 

 from Sumatra: Wing, 65; tail, 49; culmen, 14.5 mm. The type of 

 A. s. simplicior (Borneo): Wing, 65; tail, 51; culmen, 15 mm. The 

 single female of A. s. simplicior: Wing, 60; tail, 45; culmen, 13 mm. 



Robinson and Kloss "" report A. s. jronialis from as far north in 

 Peninsular Siam as Tung Pran, Takuatung, and Tasan, Chumporn. 



The form ranges from Tenasserim south through Peninsular Siam 

 to Singapore. It does not appear to be common anywhere, but this 

 may be due to some peculiarities of its habits rather than an actual 

 scarcity. 



The male is citrine above, the forehead with a coppery green or 

 blackish spot; below with the breast and belly light oil yellow, the 

 throat grayish.
