Dr. Reichenow has united T. shelleyi with T. erythro- 

 cephalus Cab., but the two are really very distinct species. 

 T. shelleyi is considerably smaller than T. erythrocephalus, 

 the wing of the former measuring 3-3'2 inches and of the 

 latter 3'9 inches. Moreover, T. shelleyi has much less crimson 

 on the cheeks and eyebrows as well as on the throat; whereas 

 T. erythrocephalus has the cheeks, eyebrows, and crown 

 almost entirely crimson, the bill much heavier and of a much 

 deeper red. T. versicolor Hartl., another allied form, differs 

 from both the above-named species in having the under tail- 

 coverts yellow, and from T. shelleyi in being much larger.
