325. Erythrosterna acornaus. 



Figured in summer plumage by Mr. Hodgson, with pale 

 rufous lores, throat, and fore-neck, as also in the mottled 

 plumage of immaturity. It is readily distinguished from E. 

 pusilla by the colour of the rump-feathers. 



326. Erythrosterna maculata. 



Female dull slaty-brown above, white beneath, with rufescent 

 tail unmarked with white (Hodgson's drawings). Also from 

 Timor (Ibis, 1865, p. 44) ! A specimen received in a Javan 

 and Moluccan collection by the Asiatic Society, Calcutta, from 

 that of Batavia. Muscicapa sulitaria, Miiller, (p. 434) is an 

 Anthipes (Ibis, loc. cit.). 



327 and 328. Tesia castaneocoronata and T. cyaniventer; 

 Gould, B. As. pt. X. pis. 



A third species of the genus exists in the Micrura super ciliaris, 

 Bonap., from the mountains of Java. 



333. Troglodytes nipalensis, Hodgs. ; Gould, B. As. 

 pt. iv. pi. 



Brachypteryx leucophrys (p. 496) is figured as a Myiothera 

 by Temminck (PI. Col. 448. fig. 1). It is evidently the female 

 of a species of which the male would be cyaneous where its mate 

 is brown, and the name implies a special resemblance to B. 

 montana and B. cruralis. The sexual diversity of colouring in 

 this genus is just that of so many of the Myiotherina and 

 ThamnophilincB of South America. 



339. Callene rufiventris. 



Female brown, with the abdominal patch whitish instead of 

 rufous. Not unlike Muscicapa lonyipes, Garnot (Voy. de la 

 Coquille, Atlas, pi. xix. f. 1), assigned to New Zealand! But 

 no such bird is given in Mr. G. R. Gray's list (Ibis, 1862, p. 214). 



340. Callene frontalis. 



The female is figured together with the male in one of Mr. 

 Hodgson's drawings in the British Museum. Dusky brown 

 above, with pale centres to feathers; below paler, with dull 

 albescent spots. (Immature plumage ?) Nest domed and like 

 a Wren's, with clay-coloured eggs.
