" This curious new Parrot resembles in its breast-markings 

 the Celebesian Psitteuteles meyeri very closely, but the 

 coloration of the head is more like that of Ptilosclera versicolor. 

 It would connect the genera Psitteuteles and Ptilosclera, 

 which are said to differ by their coloration only " (Hartert). 



It is interesting to notice that until the discovery of this 

 species no member of the Loriida had been found in the 

 Philippines.
