The nearest affinities of the peculiar species of the Talaut Islands.

Six of the Talaut forms (numbers 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 12) have still nearer affinities 

 in Sangi, and there are five other species or subspecies which are "identical" 



One of these latter {Macropyyia albicapilla sangirensis) has 



in Sangi and Talaut
