GEOFFROYUS KEYENSIS. 61 



I should rather prefer, partially according to Count Salva- 

 dori and others, to divide this group as follows: 



I. Back green: 



A. Smaller form (wing 142 — 162 rnm.). 



a. Under wing-coverts pale verdigris G. personatus. 



Sumbawa (v. Lansberge), Flores, Timor, Wetter. 



b. Under wing-coverts cobalt-blue • . G. aruënsis. 



Aru Islands. 



B. Larger form (wing 160 — 195 ram.). 



a. Under wing-coverts verdigris G. Iceyenm. 



Timor-Laut and Ké Islands. 



b. Under wing-coverts cyaneous G. rhodops. 



Ceram-group witb Bourou. 



II. Back red: 



a. Under wing-coverts cyaneous G. Puclieranii. 



Western New-Guinea and adjacent Islands, except Mysore and Jobie. 



b. Under wing-coverts deep purplish blue G. mysorensis. 



Mysore (Soëk). 



c. Under wing-coverts verdigris G. johiensis. 



Jobie. 



A fourth species of this group, G. ^orsaZts Sal vad. (Orn. 

 Pap. I. p. 190), based upon a brown-headed specimen from 

 Audai , seems to be rather dubious , as the reddish brown 

 edgings of the interscapulary feathers, which ought to dis- 

 tinguish it from G. Puclieranii, are also found in a spe- 

 cimen of the latter species from Waaigama (Mysole), 



Another character which may not be to much depended 

 upon , is the reddish brown patch on the lesser wing-coverts 

 which is just as strongly developed in many of our G, Pu- 

 cheranii as it is in G. mysorensis. 



Eclectus Riedelii. 



Edecfus Riedelii, Meyer, P. Z. S. 1881, p. 917; Scla- 

 ter, P. Z. S. 1883, p. 200, pi. 26. 

 Adult male (green) and female (red).
