"Characters. — Resembling Phapitreron hrevirostris, but with forehead, 

 chin, and throat whiter than in P. albifrons McGregor. From P. hrev- 

 irostris it is readily distinguishable by the white forehead, chin, and 

 upper throat, also by the much greater amount of coppery amethystine 

 reflections on the crown, breast, and upper back, and by the usual 

 absence of green reflections on the side of the hind head below the 

 suborbital white stripe; and the imder parts are much paler. From 

 P. albifrons it may be at once distinguished by the different color of 

 the under parts, which lack the olivaceous-gray on the breast, and 

 by its more ochraceous abdomen; also the coppery reflections on the 

 breast and upper back of P. samarensis are entirely aljsent in /'.
