median upper wing-coverts edged with red. the outermost greater 

 upper wing-coverts red ; secondaries blackish green ; tail as in the 

 male, but the lateral tail-feathers edged with pink on the inner web ;

Huh. Eastern Australia, from Rockingham. Bay to Dawson River, 

 and North Australia, from Derby to Cape York. 



The Northern birds have been specifically separated as A. cocci- 

 neopterus, Gould. They are generally smaller than the Eastern ones ; 

 but there are in the British Museum some specimens from Northern 

 and Western Australia which are as large as the Eastern, so 

 that I have been compelled to unite 1'. coccineopterus with 1'. ery- 

 thropterus.
