 head, rump, and under tail-coverts are browner in D. chry- 

 soptera than in D. magnifica, and the feathers of the front of 

 the head have a very noticeable orange-brown tinge, remind- 

 ing one of these parts in the male. The dimensions are 

 also different : —

It is surprising that Sharpe says nothing about these 

 differences.

The male of D. jobiensis is distinguished from that of 

 D. magnifica by the orange-yellow colour of the wings, 

 which have a tinge of ochre, and by the slight bronzy and 

 brown glance on the belly. The length of the wing is 113- 

 114 millim., of the tail 48-50 millim. The female is very 

 different from that of D, magnifica, being of a brownish grey 

 instead of olive-brown, except on the edgings of some of the 

 secondaries, which are more brownish ; the underside is of a 

 clearer whitish. Length of the wing 113 millim., of the tail 

 65 millim.
