1 The name Chalcostctha insignis (Jardine), by which most authors call this 

 species, should give way in favor of Chalcostetha calcostetha (Jardine), sinc< 

 Nectarinia calcostctha Jardine (Nat. Hist. Nectariniadae, [843, p. 263) has 

 anteriority over Nectarinia insignis Jardine (Nat. Hist. Nectariniadae, 1843, 

 P- 274).
