158 BIRDS OF THE 



Capltonidae. 



20. Chotorhea chrysopsis. 



Megalaema chrysopsis Goffin, Mus. P. B., Buccones, p. 15 (1863); 



Everett, L. B. Born. p. 167; Sharpe, Ibis 1890, p. 4. 

 Chotorhea chrysopsis Salvad. Ucc. Born. p. 32; Shelley, Cat. B. Br. 



Mus. XIX. p. 59. 



A great number of specimens from Mounts Kenepai and 

 Liang Koeboeng, Nanga Raoen, Poetoes Sibau, Poelau 

 and the Upper Mahakkam. — Iris reddish brown, bill 

 black (in the female the base of lower mandible greenish 

 horn-color), feet olive-green. 



From the above mentioned localities may be seen that 

 this species is found in the plain as well as in the mount- 

 ain forests. Captain Shelley in his above quoted Catalogue 

 allows only subspecific rank to this Bornean representative 

 of C. chrysopogon^ but our bird is so constantly distinct 

 by its smaller size and the bright yellow forehead that it 

 fully merits to be considered a quite distinct species. 



Hab. Throughout Borneo.

 ausgestossenes kuko, kuko, kuko".
