Adult male. Resembles tbat of P. superbus, from wbicb it differs 

 principally in baving the black pectoral band not sharply defined 

 on the anterior part, where it gradually merges into the purple of 

 the breast: " iris yellow ; bill green ; tarsus coral" (Guillemard). 



Adult female. Like the female of P. superbus, but with the 

 occipital spot not blue, but purple-red as in the male, and extended 

 over the vertex. 



Hab. Celebes and Sulu Islands. 



I have not seen specimens from the Sulu Islands, which, 

 according to Dr. Guillemard, " appear to be of a somewhat larger 

 size, and are characterized by the absence of the maillee appearance 

 of the breast, due to the small number of feathers that are bifid. 

 Total length 29,5 centim., wing 14,4 centim.''
