Very similar to Colceus monedida, from which C. neglectus 

 differs in the following points : — 



1st. The hind-neck is almost black, so that the black of 

 the pileum is not sharply defined behind. 



2nd. The cheeks and ear-coverts are almost black, very 

 slightly tinged with grey. 



3rd. The grey patch on the sides of the neck is much 

 reduced, being confined to the upper part, just below the 

 ear-coverts.
