The earliest uanie for any form of Crlniger is tephrorfenys of 

 Jardine and Selby and the description undoubtedly applies to 

 one of the southern forms, though no locality is given. In the 

 Journal of the Bombay JS^atural History Society I designated the 

 type-locality as South Tenasserini (vol. xxvii, p. 466, 1021). 



The female is a good deal smaller than the male.
