It appears to be certain that the fully adult of this subspecies has the whole 

 crown orange, or with only a small black patch on the nape, while in M. anais anais 

 the head of the adult is entirely black. Nevertheless they are clearly not more 

 than subspecies. Our specimens from Kapaur have so much black on the hinder 

 crown and sides of the head that they can be called intermediate, while one of our 

 black-headed anais shows some yellow feathers in the crown. Unfortunately the 

 latter has uo locality. The distribution of these two forms cannot be said to be 

 clearlv understood.
