39. x\naplectes blundelli, sp. n. 



Adult male. Most nearly allied to^. melanotis (Lafr. ), but 

 to be distinguished from that species by having the back 

 black instead of brown, a few feathers on the interscapular 

 region being tipped with pale red, and the cheeks and ear- 

 coverts deep black, this colour not extending to an imaginary 

 line drawn down the side of the throat from the base of the 

 mandible. In A. melanotis the black extends over the sides 

 of the throat, considerably beyond this line. Total length 

 about 5"7 inches, culmen 0*8, wing 3'4, tail 2*2, tarsus 

 08.
