 Lomaloma, Kandavu, Mango (Lay.). — Samoa Is. : Tutuila only (Peale, Whitmee). 



In the Orn. Centralpol. (1. c.) mention is made in the synonymy of 11. sacra of a D. albifrons 

 Peale, but this appears to be a lapsus calami as no such species is mentioned by Hartlaub (Wiegm. Arch. 

 1852, 110) who is referred to. 



Latham (1. c.) confuses the habitats of H. sacra and venerata, giving Otaheite as the home of 

 sacra and Tonga as that of venerata. Some other authorities have followed him in this mistake.
