 Mus. Dresd. n. 2-4, p. 13 (1891) (Kaiser Wilhelmnland). 



Similar to C'.coea, from which it differs in the following points : the chin 

 and throat pure white ; the grey feathers lighter ; the pectoral band not pure 

 black, but each feather with metallic-green bands, aflso on the mantle between 

 the brown mantle and the vinous-grey neck there is a metallic-green band.

I doubt this form being truly distinct from C. eoea, as the specimens from 

 Western New Guinea also show more or less the metallic-green band on the 

 back.
