This species differs from P. eximius in the abseneo of the yellow 

 ear-coverts and in the paler colour below. So far as I can tell from 

 the examination of the single damaged specimen of P. zeledoni 

 which Mr. Lawrence has lent to me, that species is probably the 

 same. If this should turn out to be the case, Mr. Lawrence's name 

 must be adopted.
