EUMYIAS. A477 
I have not seen a specimen of this flycatcher and no good description 
of it is available.* The above description is compiled from that of C. 
montis. By an oversight C. montis has been credited to Palawan by 
Sharpe and by McGregor and Worcester; as the only specimen of fly- 
catcher warbler from Palawan is the type of C. zanthopygia, the former 
species must be stricken from the list of Philippine birds. 
Genus EUMYIAS Cabanis, 1850. 
Bill broad and depressed ; width at nostril nearly twice the depth; rictal 
bristles moderate ; the wing exceeds the tail by less than length of tarsus ; 
first primary more than one-half of second and less than one-half of third ; 
fourth and fifth nearly equal and longest; tarsus twice the bill from 
nostril. This genus is similar to Cyornis, but in Hwimyias the sexes are 
alike in colors and nearly the entire plumage is verditer-blue. 
Species. 
@. Forehead and chin verditer-blue to base of bill. 
b*. Feathers of lores with black bases, the tips blue; wing longer.

PANAY VERDITER FLYCATCHER. 
Eumyias panayensis SuarPe, Trans. Linn. Soe. 2d. ser. Zool. (1877), 1, 
326; McGrecor and WorcrEstER, Hand-List (1906), 76. 
Stoparola panayensis SHARPE, Cat. Birds Brit. Mus. (1879), 4, 440; Hand- 
List (1901), 3, 286; WHITEHEAD, Ibis (1899), 110 (habits). 
Negros (Steere Hxp., Whitehead) ; Panay (Steere). 
“Adult (type of species).—General color above dull verditer-blue, 
rather brighter on the forehead and over the eye, forming an indistinct 
eyebrow; least wing-coverts resembling the back, the greater series and 
the quills blackish brown, externally edged with dull verditer-blue; tail 
feathers blackish, also edged with verditer on the outer web; sides of face 
dull verditer, as also the whole of the throat and breast, shading off into 
white on the abdomen and flanks, the latter washed with blue; fore part 
of cheeks and throat slightly varied with silvery tips to the feathers; 
thighs and under wing- and tail-coverts buffy white. Bill black; feet dark 
brown. Length, 152; culmen, 14; wing, 75; tail, 62; tarsus, 18.” 
(Sharpe.) 
“The Panay verditer flycatcher seems to be a mountain form. A single 
specimen was collected by the Steere Expedition on an expedition into 
the mountains back of Sibulan, Negros.” (Bourns and Worcester MS.) 
* Whitehead’s diagnosis is as follows: “Similis C. montis sed rostro crassiore 
et uropygio sulphureo destinguenda.”
