* Sharpe, Hand-List (1901), 3, 276, asigns the species C. nigrorum and C. 

 olivacea to Abrornis. Gates says: "Abrornis resembles Critplolopha in everything 

 except the tail, which has ten feathers instead of twelve." As the species men- 

 tioned above have twelve rectrices I have put them in Crjfptolopka.
