According to Malherbe, the present species differs from D. oli- 

 vinus as follows : — In the male the forehead, crown, and half of 

 the sinciput (occiput ?) are red, this colour not extending on to the 

 nape ; whilst in I). oNvinus the reverse is the case — that is to say, 

 the red is found only on the nape. The undorparts are pale brown 

 barred with whitish grey, instead of being olivaceous. The olive 

 colour of the back, rump, and wings is less bright, with scarcely a 

 trace of yellow on these parts. The female scarcely differs from 

 2). oJivimis, it has some small spots of yellowish white on the olive- 

 brown of the head. The measurements in inches are : — length 

 6-2, culmen 0-8, wing 3-G2, tail 1-72, tarsus 0-67.
